Sow in pots at temperatures between 20 and 30°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1.5 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground is possible, under the same conditions, when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.
