How to plant

Soak in water for up to 24 hours then sow, pointed tips facing down and the tops uncovered. Place in a propagator or greenhouse or on a sunny windowsill – they need a temperature of 20°C to for germination, which can take anything from a few weeks to a couple of months. Transplant the seedlings once they are large enough into bigger pots. Plant into their final position after two or three years.
