How to Grow
As this plant develops a tap root it is best to sow seed directly outdoors in a site with bright, indirect light with average soil. Seed should be sown in early May and a second crop can be sown again in August through to early September. Do not cover the seed with soil. Seed can also be started indoors in a plantable container filled with soil-less mix 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Keep temperature at 21° C for the 7-10 day germination period, then grow on at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside after the danger of frost has passed. Thin or space plants to 25 cm apart in the garden.
