Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Level fill a tray with seed compost firming with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Scatter seeds thinly, lightly covering with vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 18-25°C or cover tray with cling film and leave in a warm room.

Growing On

When shoots appear, remove cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm apart into small pots or module trays. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 10°C

Hardening Off/Planting Out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when risk of frost has passed. Allow 20cm between plants. Water well until established.

Aftercare

Dead head faded blooms to keep plants blooming for longer.
