In pots of seed compost Sow 2 seeds per pot. Cover with a fine layer of compost. Firm gently and keep moist. Cover pots with glass, Polythene or propagator lid. Keep at approx. 20C. Seedlings appear in 21-35 days.

Remove cover when seedlings appear, grow on at approx. 15C until ready for potting into 10cm pots. Gradually acclimatize plants to outside conditions in May (avoid frosts).  Transplant 25cm apart in flowering position. Keep moist and weed free at all times. Alternatively pot on into large pots and grow as a house plant in a bright airy location.

Create a small frame over 20cm pots, for indoor plants to climb.
