  • Growing Tips:

    Can be slow growing, plant in a space in the garden that will not be required for a quick turnaround with next seasons plantings. Start seeds in a tray and shift into the  garden at around 10cm in length to help with spacing. Mound soil around the bases to help with bleaching and creating a longer, whiter stem.
