Tips & Advice:
Sowing Indoors
Soak the seeds in warm water for a few hours. Sow in pots of pre-watered compost, just covering with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite. Place out of direct sun at about 20°C and allow 2-4 weeks to germinate, keeping moist but not wet. Move to a cooler temperature after germination.
Growing On
Transplant when seedlings are large enough to handle. Grow on in a sheltered spot outdoors, such as a cold frame or unheated greenhouse.
Planting Out
Plant out in full sun in well-drained soil. Also suitable for containers, raised beds or rockeries.
Aftercare
Remove faded flowers during summer to prolong blooming. Remove any dead foliage in spring. Add grit to improve drainage where necessary.
Advice
Late summer sowings will flower earlier, and more profusely, the following year.
