Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds 1mm deep and lightly cover with a little more compost- light aids germination. Place in the warmth, 15-20°C and keep moist.

Growing On/Planting Out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out from early summer onwards. Allow 25cm between plants.

Sowing Outdoors

Seed can be sown outdoors when soil is warm. Sow thinly and lightly cover with a little soil. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge. Thin to 25cm apart and transfer thinnings to other parts of your garden.

Aftercare

Water regularly, especially during warm, dry spells and feed using a liquid plant food. Deadhead regularly to prolong the flowering period.
