Sowing Information
Sow the seed thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm, weed free soil where the plants are to flower 13mm (1?2″) deep. Germination normally takes 10-14 days. As the seedlings develop, thin to achieve a final spacing of 25cm (10″). Use any spare plants to fill the spaces in the bed. Alternatively, for earlier plants sow on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approx. 13-18°C (55-66°F) 3 or 4 seeds to a 7.5cm (3″) pot. Plant out after acclimatising to outside conditions.
