Keep in mind when planting that Pink lady is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Pink lady needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Pink lady from seed

Look to ensure a distance 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Pink lady is a tender plant.
