Sowing & growing
Best sown where they are to flower March-May or Sep-Nov for flowers the following year. Sow 3mm deep in finely raked soil and water with a fine spray, to not displace seeds. Sow in rows 30cm apart. When seedlings appear, thin out to 25cm spacing.
Aftercare
Cut or deadhead regularly. Will self-seed so deadhead if you do not want seedlings to pop up around the garden the following year.
