Although seed can be sown most of the year in many parts of Australia seed is generally the best time of the year is August to December, avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year.
- Sow seed on the surface of a porous seed-raising mix.
- Sprinkle a very light covering of the seed-raising mix over the seed if required to hold the seed in place. Do not bury the seed deeply.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
- Place in a warm shaded or semi-shaded position to avoid dying out.
- Keep warm & moist, and avoid drying out or waterlogging the growing mix.
- Transplant seedlings when they are large to handle. Protect seedling from frost.
Seeds should germinate in around 14-21 days at a soil temperature of 18-21°C
For masses planting the seed can be scatered over the growing area and lighlty raked cover.
* Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lie dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate, keep them moist, but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region.
