Sowing Instructions

Sowing Time February to March or September to October. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a constant temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 10-21 days. Take care not to provide too high a temperature, as this can prevent germination.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 15-23cm (6-9in) apart, or plant into baskets and containers. For best results, provide a light, well-drained soil in full sun.

Aftercare

Overwinter September sowings in a coldframe then plant out the following spring. Spring sowings will give flowers during early summer, whilst autumn sowings will blooms the following spring.
