Sow in pots at a temperature of around 24°C, under a well-lit shelter, 10 weeks before planting. At the 2-3 leaf stage, transplant into individual cups if necessary, or into a nursery. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clod, burying the stem up to the first leaves, 50 cm apart in all directions. To lift dormancy, place seeds in the refrigerator for a week, at a temperature of 4 to 5°C.
