- Prefers full sun
Sow: Feb to Jun
Harvest: Jun to Aug
Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in warmth (10–15 °C) and keep moist. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings individually to 8 cm pots of potting compost. Gradually accustom them to conditions outside for 2–3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions 90 cm apart from late spring onwards.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow, short, pre-watered row. Lightly cover with a little soil. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established, then thin to 2 cm apart.
Transplanting
When seedlings are growing strongly, transplant them to their cropping positions from mid to late summer, allowing 90 cm each way between plants.
Advice
Pick the heads in summer, and use the scales while they are still young and fleshy. Do not allow flower heads to form during the first year; remove these as soon as noticed.
