Sowing & growing
Sow indoors Feb-Apr on the surface of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine layer of soil, to not exclude light. Keep at 18-25°C until germination occurs. Prick out seedlings and grow on under cover. Harden off before planting out 45cm apart when frosts have passed.
Aftercare
Deadhead or cut flower regularly to extend flowering period.
