Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 18-25°C and keep moist. Cover the tray with cling film, but remove as soon as seedlings begin to emerge.

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.

Hardening Off / Planting Out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting when the danger of frost has passed. Allow 30cm between plants.

Aftercare

Cut back flowering stems as they start to fade to encourage a second flush.
