    I sow them in April,  fill a seed tray with compost, place the seeds on, you can see where you put them as they’re quite large,   I keep mine in the kitchen where it’s warm, once large enough to handle about 2 to 3 inches tall, put them in little pots then grow on, when they’ve out grown those pots, pot on again, keep in a greenhouse or cold frame over winter and plant out the following Spring, by then they’ll be big plants and will withstand the slugs(hopefully).  They will flower for you in 2022. 
    Once they’ve  germinated you can come back on the site for some more help if you need it.
