SEED SOWING: Sow in spring and summer. Seeds need scarification for best germination, this is done by immersing the seed in boiling water, leave to soak in the cooling water overnight. Plant in good quality seed raising mix. Keep moist but not wet. Germination should be in 7 to 10 days.  It is best to plant where they are to grow as they resent root disturbance. If you need to start them in pots before planting into the garden, handle carefully when planting.
