Sow: February to April
Flowering: May to September
Sowing
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and very lightly cover with vermiculite or a little more compost. Place in warmth, 20–25 °C, and keep moist.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a bright position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5 cm apart into trays of potting compost.
Hardening Off / Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out once the danger of frost has passed. Allow 25 cm between plants. Alternatively, plant in patio pots using good-quality compost, either individually or in mixed plantings.
Aftercare / Advice
Pinch out flowering stems as they appear to maintain a neat, bushy shape. Keep well watered and protected from strong midday sun.
