Sow: Feb to May
Flowering: Jun to Oct
Sowing
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover with a little more compost. Place in a warm position, 15–18°C, and keep moist. Keep in a light position but away from direct sunlight.
Growing On
When large enough to handle, transplant singly into 8cm pots, or 5cm apart into trays of potting compost. Grow on at a minimum temperature of 10°C.
Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out when the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny position in well-drained soil. Water well until established.
Advice
Does not require staking. Leave to stand after flowering as the seed heads are attractive to birds. Cut back in spring.
