Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover with a little more fine compost or vermiculite. Place in warmth, 20-25°C and keep moist.

Growing On

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm apart into trays of potting compost, or into individual 8cm pots

Hardening Off / Planting Out

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

Aftercare

Deadhead spent blooms and feed and water regularly to maximise the flowering period.
