A mixture of 70% garden soil and 30% peat, or a soil based potting compost is advised for seed sowing; compost must be moist before sowing. We do not recommend soaking or chipping our seed.
October is the best time to sow. Once the seedlings are through, they should be put in a cold-frame to over-winter. Leave frame open day and night and only cover in frosts
Use mouse-traps and slug pellets to prevent pest damage.
Don't allow pots to dry out.
Prepare ground in the Autumn.
Don't over manure; a good handful of general purpose fertiliser per square yard is adequate.
Plant out from early March.
Tap out pot, drop 2 plants 12" apart
Grow in double rows 18" apart, up a cane cordon fashion.
Garden decoration plants can be supported with net wire in any frame.
In dry weather, give a good soak once a week.
Feed with high potash fertiliser once a week onto soil when buds appear.
