Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Albion is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. Albion requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 - 6.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Albion from seed

Ensure a distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.47 inches (1.2 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Albion about 15 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Albion

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Albion is a half hardy plant.
