Flowering
Sowing & growing
Sow inside Oct-Apr. Winter or early Spring sowing will give stronger plants. Soaking seeds for 24hrs before sowing aids germination. Sow 1-2cm deep in deep pots using good quality seed compost. Germinate at 20-25°C and grow on at cooler temperatures. Harden off before planting out. Alternatively sow direct Apr-May, 2-3cm deep.
Aftercare
Deadhead or cut flowers regularly to help prolong flowering period.
