Sowing & growing
Sow outside directly where it is to grow March-May, as they do not like root disturbance. Prepare a well-drained seed bed, scatter the seeds and add a light covering of soil. Keep moist for successful germination. Thin the seedlings to 40 cm apart.
Aftercare
Low maintenance once established. Do not fertilise as this will reduce flowering. Deadhead spent flowers and cut back to encourage fresh growth.
