Water gently after sowing. - Germination typically occurs within 21 days. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to approximately 30cm apart. - For an earlier start, you can sow seeds indoors in 7.5cm pots from March to April. Maintain a temperature of 20–25°C. Ensure to harden off the seedlings before planting them outside. - Regular watering and feeding are recommended throughout the growing season. - For taller varieties, staking with canes may be necessary to protect them from wind damage, especially in exposed sites.
