| Sowing Information | Sow during mid-late winter in a good seed compost, just covering the seed with compost. Germination takes 14-21 days at 19-21C (65-70F). Higher temperatures may prevent germination. |
| Growing Information | Transplant seedlings when 36mm (1½in) high into 9cm (3½in) pots. Making sure the tiny bulb is not covered. When well rooted move to a cold frame and plant out in early spring at 38cm (15in) apart in a sunny spot in a rich fertile soil which has had plenty of well rotted compost dug in the previous autumn, and a dressing of general fertiliser at 4oz/sq. yd applied just before planting. |
| Aftercare | Keep the soil moist during dry spells. As the leaves start to yellow bend over the tops, leave 14 days then lift and store when thoroughly ripened. |
