A warm kitchen windowsill is perfect for starting these seeds. Sow indoors, January-April, for surest results 0.5cm (¼”) deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm, light position. A temperature of 20-24ºC (68-75ºF) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 10-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2”) apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 15cm (6”) apart.Foliage: July-October. Small, yellow flowers may appear from August to October.
