Sowing method: Mid-August - end of September outdoors. In a mild winter, sowing can be done under glass until March. From April, ventilate or remove the glass. Row distance 15 cm, sow thinly at 0.5 cm deep, press down the seed and keep it moist. Sowing from April - August is also possible, preferably in (press) pots. However, the chance of mold is then greater.
