Sowing & growing
September sowing directly, possibly protect with a cloche during harsh winters. Sow inside October to November or January to March – acclimatise before moving outside. Pinch out the lead shoot once 2nd set of leaves have developed.
Aftercare
Deadhead and cut flowers regularly, which will prolong the flowering season. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser
