Sowing & growing

Sow where they are to grow outside in April to May. Sow in drills 10mm deep in a well-prepared seed bed. You can also sow under cover in seed composts, and transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle. Seeds can be sown Aug-Oct and protected under glass over the winter for an earlier display the following year.

Aftercare

Pick flowers every few days and deadhead flowers regularly to prolong the flowering season.
