Sowing
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover with a little more fine compost or vermiculite. Place in warmth at 20–25 °C and keep moist.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5 cm apart into trays of potting compost or into individual 8 cm pots.
Hardening Off / Planting Out
Gradually acclimatize plants to outdoor conditions over 2–3 weeks before planting out once the risk of frost has passed. Allow 20 cm between plants.
Aftercare / Advice
Deadhead spent blooms and feed and water regularly to maximise the flowering period.
