This herb is best started off indoors. Sow the seeds 0.5cm deep in trays of moist compost, be careful not to over-water. Store in a warm place at an approx. temperature of 18-21 degrees C (65-70 degrees F). This herb needs lots of light.

Growing On:

When the seedlings are strong enough to handle they can be transplanted into bigger pots or trays. Do not overcrowd the plants and keep in a warm, light position. Once all chance of frost has passed the plants can be transplanted into your desired location. Harden off first.
