Sow outdoors from march on a well prepared seed bed. Sow in rows or broadcast the seeds on the soil, rake in the seeds gently. Keep moist and weedfree.
Thin the seedlings to 30 cm apart, when they're large enough to handle. It's also possible to sow the seeds from september till october on a sunny and sheltered plot. Put the seedlings together as a group to create as much effect as possible.
