SOWING - Be patient as it takes a bit of patience. The seedlings often suffer from damping-off (becoming weak & falling over), Sow 2 to 3 seeds in each pot, about 5mm deep. Use seed compost & do not add fertilizer. Keep soil moist until seeds germinate & then place under bright lights (Full sun under protection). After the third true leaf emerges, transplant each seedling into its own individual pot. Small Hardy PERENNIAL Bush
