When planting into prepared garden bed, ensure seedlings are well spaced — at least 20 to 30cm apart.

Dig the planting hole twice as wide and to the same depth as the root-ball. Remove the plant from the container. Position in hole and backfill, gently firming down. Form a raised ring around the plant, creating a well so that water will go where it's needed most.

Water in gently and keep soil moderately moist at all times.

Mulch with an organic mulch such as bark chips, woodchip or pea straw to a depth of 5-8cm, keeping it away from the base of the plant.
