Sowing Time
February – April
Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, but do not cover them with compost. Place in the warmth 18-25 degree Celsius (65-75 Fahrenheit), and keep moist. Higher temperatures may inhibit germination.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant individually into 8cm (3in) pots of potting compost.
Hardening Off/Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when danger of frost has passed. Allow 30cm (12in) between plants if planting into the garden. Container plantings can be much closer together. Water well in dry weather and feed plants regularly with a liquid fertiliser.
Flowering Time
May – September
