Most popular variety/strong growing habit - Very winter hardy, thick stems - Ready from December onwards
WHEN TO SOW
March and April
WHERE TO SOW
Sow the seeds thinly in a well prepared seed bed in shallow drills 2cm deep. Can also be sown earlier in a greenhouse at not less than 15ƒ for exhibition work.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Thin seedlings as they grow to 4-5cm apart. When the seedlings are about the thickness of a pencil, they should be lifted and transplanted. Make a hole 15cm deep with a rod, trim off the ends of roots and leaves, drop into the hole and fill with water. Do not fill the hole with soil.
MATURITY
November to January/February.
HANDY TIP
Dropping plants into holes saves the need for earthing up, but white stem can be increased by additional earthing up as the plants grow. |
