Sowing
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and very lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 18–20°C and keep moist. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
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. Alternatively, transplant individually to 8 cm pots.
Hardening Off / Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out when danger of frost has passed. Allow 30 cm between plants.
Advice
Osteospermums grow best in full sun, in free-draining soil.
