Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a partially shaded position in a nursery seedbed. A germination rate in excess of 80% can be expected, with the seed sprouting within 12 - 25 days[1]. When the seedlings are 3 - 6cm tall, pot them up into individual containers and they should be ready to plant out 4 - 6 months later[1]. The seed has a viability of less than 4 months in storage[1].
