Sow from late winter to early summer 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in compost. Make sure the compost is moist but not wet, seal in a polythene bag until after germination, which usually takes 14-21 days at 16-18C (60-65F).
Transplant when large enough to handle into 8cm (3in) pots. Later plant out 3cm (12in) apart in ordinary soil in full sun.
