- Cultivation
- Sow under cover late March-May. Soak seed overnight, then sow 2.5cm (1in) deep in a 9cm pot. Once they have 5-6 leaves, they’re ready to go out. Harden off and plant once frosts are over. Sow direct from mid-May, even sowing into your compost heap.
Care Tips
Water well, and avoid the plant becoming dry. Mulch well, and dig in plenty of manure. Will need a frame to climb up. It is important to pinch out the triffid-like growth tips once they reach 1.8m and to keep doing so! This helps the fruit to set.
Flowering Time
August - October
