- Sow the seeds 0.5cm deep, making sure they are totally covered by soil (they require darkness to germinate).
- Germination is slow, taking four to six weeks.

- Keep the soil moist and feed fortnightly.
- Grows best in moist, well-drained soil, with full sun.
- Can be grown in containers and pots, also very ornamental in gardens.
