Growing Guide
Sowing window: Autumn to spring in warm northern areas, spring to summer in moderate climates, and spring in cooler regions.
Sow seed about 5–6 mm deep in a warm, well-drained seed raising mix and keep evenly moist during germination. Seeds generally germinate in around 6–12 days in suitable conditions. Transplant into a sunny position once seedlings are established, allowing around 50 cm between plants. As an indeterminate variety, Oxheart Pink benefits from staking or other strong support.
