Direct sow or in trays. Plant seed 1cm deep, transplant or thin to 50cm apart. Readily self seeds. Makes an attractive floral border.

Sow when is based on cooler climates. If you are growing in a warm climate you may need to check your local sow when guides.

All seed packets sold are in date. The use by date on the packet image does not reflect the date of the seed for sale, we don’t update the image to reflect the latest batch.

If the word HUON is in bold on the packet it means it’s been grown and saved in the Huon Valley.

All those grown in the Huon Valley are grown organically.
