Sowing instructions:
Sow seed, 1cm (½in) deep, 3 seeds per 7.5cm (3in) pot, in free-draining, damp seed compost. Place at 20-29C (68-86F) until after germination.
Growing instructions:
When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 23cm (9 inches) apart. Before planting into containers, ensure plants are well rooted in their pots.
Aftercare:
They flower most freely in full sun and poor dryish soils. Before planting in containers make sure they are well rooted in their pots.
Kitchen notes:
The leaves taste like watercress, the flowers add a spicy touch to salads and the green seeds can be chopped and used with parsley as a garnish or made into a substitute for capers.
