sowing instructions sow
directly outdoors. Prepare the soil well and rake into a fine crumb before you start sowing. Sow at least 20 mm deep, in rows 30 cm apart.

Care instructions
If they are large enough to be touched, thin the plants so that they are about 23 cm apart.

For an earlier flowering
Sow the seeds 1 cm deep and 3 seeds per 7.5 cm pot in well-drained, moist soil. Keep a temperature of 20 – 29 ° C until germination. Get used to outdoor conditions slowly. Suspend as soon as there is no frost risk. Before planting outdoors, make sure that the plants have developed enough roots in their pots. The young leaves have a peppery taste, the flowers go well with salads, and the green seeds can be chopped as garnish or pickled as capers.
