How
Each "seed" is a cluster of 1-4 true seeds in a corky outer coating. Soak for two hours before sowing to ensure water penetrates to seeds. Sow direct where they are to grow or in trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. When 3-5cm tall, separate clustered seedlings and transplant.
Care
Grow in a Sunny well-drained position. Apply Yates Thrive Fish Blood & Bone Liquid Plant Food regularly, and keep seedlings well watered. Make successive sowings every few weeks. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Pick young leaves and add to salad mixes.
