Sowing & growing
Sow inside from Feb-April in pots or trays of seed compost and cover very lightly with a layer of soil. Keep at 21°C until seeds germinate. Prick out seedlings when they have their first true leaves. Grow on in cool and light conditions and plant out when frosts have passed. Sow directly where they are to flower in May-June.
Aftercare
Water well until established and deadhead regularly. When plants are young, pinch out growing tips for bushier plants and more flowers.
