Grow notes:

Although seed can be sown most of the year in many parts of Australia seed is generally best sown in spring or autumn in temperate climates, avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year. The optimum germination temperature for germination is around 18-22°C.

1. Sow seed on a porous seed raising mix and cover lightly. Do not bury seed deeply.
2. Place in a warm shaded or semi shaded position to avoid dying out.
3. The growing medium should be well draining but should remain damp between watering. Keep moist but not too wet as the seed may rot. Do not let the growing mix completely dry out.
4. Germination should occur in 14-42 days depending on the temperature and conditions.
