Sow indoors

Almost fill a tray with seed compost and water carefully. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and just cover with a little more compost. Place in the warmth (20-25°C / 68-75F) and keep moist.

Grow on

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When lareg enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost, or individually into small (8cm / 3in) pots.

Plant out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions before planting out in full sun once the danger of frost has passed. Allow 25cm (10in) between plants. Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny border, or in good quality compost in containers.

Aftercare

Remove dying flowers to prolong blooming. Water well, especially in hot spells, and feed regularly in summer.
