Growing instructions
Sow in early March into seedling trays in a warm place. Transfer to pots when about 5 cm high. Transplant into the field from May 20 at a distance of 60 x 60 cm. Tie up to stakes or trellis strings. Also break some side branches to promote full fruiting; can be done later on if necessary also. Greenhouse growing is required. Tip for mixed culture: Basil and parsley intercrop beautifully.
