Sowing & growing

Sow under glass in Feb-March. Press seeds lightly to soil surface but no not cover as light is required for germination. Water from the base of tray. Keep at temperature of 20°C . Acclimatise young plants, and when danger of frost has passed, plant out 45cm apart. Sow in-situ from March-April in well prepared soil.

Aftercare

Deadhead regularly to keep flowers coming through the summer. May self-seed but can be prevented by removing seedheads.
