Growing calendar
Sowing & growing
Sow indoors Feb-Apr, or sow directly Apr-May. Under cover, sow onto moist seed compost and cover seed with a light sprinkling of soil. Keep at 18-21°C. When seedlings are large enough, prick out and grow on in individual pots. Plant out when risk of frost has passed. Alternatively sow direct 1.5cm deep into pre-watered drills.
Aftercare
Deadhead after first flush to encourage second flush of flowers. Remove plants and compost them at the end of the season.
