Growing calendar
Sowing & growing
March-May, sow under glass in seed compost 3mm deep. Keep in propagator or polythene bag at temperatures of 18-22°C until germination. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings to pots and grow on at cooler temperatures before planting out when risk of frost has passed.
Aftercare
Cut back hard after flowering for a later second flush of foliage and blooms. Dig up and replant seedlings where desired. Deadhead if you do not want further seedlings.
