How to grow Incredible F1

When

Sow.  Indoors April-May   

Plant out May-June  

How?

Early sowings can be made into pots or modules under glass at 21°C. Later sowings can be made directly into the growing site, sowing 2 seeds per sowing station. Do not sow as a single row; sow in block spacing as detailed below. 

Pot-raised seedlings should be gradually hardened off in a cold frame before transplanting into the plot once all risk of frost has passed. Do not plant in rows, but plant in blocks, spacing plants 45cm (18") apart each way to aid pollination by wind.
