Additional Information

Growing Information

Sowing info

Sow the seed February to April indoors, just covering them lightly and germinate at a temperature of 15 C to 30 C. Though they are fast growing, they can be slow to germinate, so be patient. When all risk of frost is passed and the soil is warm, harden off and plant in their final positions.

Growing info

This tender plant should be grown in a sunny, sheltered position. Plants thrive in free draining soil and should not be fertilised as this encourages leafy growth at the expense of fruit. Once established this plant will require little to no care and will produce an abundance of fruit.
