Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained compost and press seeds lightly into the soil — do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep at around 18–21°C. Germination takes 7–14 days. Pinch out growing tips once 10cm tall to encourage bush growth. Harden off before planting out after frost risk has passed spacing 25–30cm apart.
