Grow on
When the seedlings are established in the cells of the tray, transplant them into 8cm pots and keep them frost-free.
Harden off/plant out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when the danger of frost has passed. Allow 30cm between plants. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot for the best results.
Advice
Please note that the young plants are green. The purple colour will develop once the young plants have established and been planted outside.
