How
Sow direct where they are to grow. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix, firm down and keep moist. Thin seedlings out to 25cm apart.
Care
Choose a Sunny, well-drained position. Add Lime or Dolomite to acidic soils. Protect from snails and slugs. Once established, plants need minimal care.
Hint
Great companion plant for cabbages and roses. Use sparingly in stocks, stuffings, and sauces. Very good with poultry or fish cooked slowly in wine.
