Sowing & growing
Sow indoors at 18-21°C throughout the year in well drained compost, do not cover. Prick out once large enough to handle and acclimatise the young plants. Alternatively sow outside Mar-May or Aug-Sep for flowers next year. Thin the seedlings to 20-30cm apart.
Aftercare
Pinch out central shoot to encourage bushy growth and deadhead to encourage more flowers.
