Best is to put the seeds into seed trays and let them germinate there then transplant them to where you want them. They are tall things - about 30 cm wide at base and over 1m tall. If you plant the seeds in a bed there is high risk that you will remove them as weeds - I always do, esp when growing as they look so weed like.
