They require moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Pre-soak the seeds for 12 hours in warm water and sow in individual pots in a greenhouse in early spring. The seed usually germinates in 1 - 3 weeks at 22°C. Try to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Soak the seeds for 12–24 hours or lightly nick the seed coat. Sow directly into warm soil next to a trellis, fence or string. Do not over-fertilise — rich soil produces leaves instead of flowers.
