Growing at a glance…
Water freely during the first year, but from second year onwards, they will get on with less watering. Grow in any moderately fertile and well drained soil. Plant in a sunny part of the garden, or in partial shade. Dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the entire module. If planting in pots, fill a large pot halfway with potting soil and then make several holes that can hold the modules. Do this until the top of the soil from the module is just below the top of the pot. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently. Water well once planted.
