How to Grow

Sow directly in the garden after the risk of frost is over. The warmer the soil, the faster germination, but at least 7°C. Can also be sown very late in the autumn for germination next spring. Sow about 1cm deep, and sow thinly. Do not let the soil dry out and build a crust. Then the seedling will have a problem penetrating the crust.
