Sowing:

Sow March to April. Soak seeds overnight in cold water before sowing. Sow at 68-86F on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost. Cover with a layer of compost, 1/8 inch deep. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination which takes 10-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

Growing:

Transplant when large enough to handle into 5 inch pots. Grow on in cooler, well lit conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 12 inches apart. For pot plants, plant into loam-based soil in 8 inch pots. Grow on with plenty of light, but shade from direct sun. Remove spent flowers regularly.

Aftercare:

Prefers a sunny, sheltered, warm site. Flowers mid summer to fall.
