Germination takes 7 to 14 days and stalls above 27°C. Thin to 30cm apart, as crispheads need room to fold properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Sow - Australian Climate Zones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool \u0026amp; Mountain:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperate:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to May and August to October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e April to July (cooler, drier months)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArid \u0026amp; Semi-arid:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to April and August to September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in cool weather with steady, frequent water, since a crisphead that dries out either bolts or fails to heart up.
