Sow indoors

Scatter seeds thinly over the surface of firm, pre-watered compost in trays, covering seeds with 1cm of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 15-18°C or cover tray with cling film and leave in a warm room.

Grow on

When shoots appear, remove cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When plants are 5cm tall, transplant 5cm apart to trays of potting compost or singly into small pots. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 10°C.

Plant out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out 30cm apart when risk of frost has passed. Water well until established.

Sow outdoors

Sow seeds in pre-watered soil at a depth of 1.5cm in their flowering positions. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge, and water well in dry spells. Thin seedlings to around 30cm apart.
