Tips & Advice:
Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and very lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 18-20°C and keep moist. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
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. Alternatively, transplant individually to 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 30cm between plants.
Advice
Osteospermums grow best in full sun, in free-draining soil.
