Sow 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, 10-15°C and keep moist.

Grow on

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant individually to 8cm pots of potting compost.

Plant out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out during autumn. Allow 30cm between plants.

Sow outdoors

Seed can also be sown outdoors in short, shallow, pre-watered rows. Lightly cover with a little soil, and keep soil moist until seedlings emerge. Transplant young plants to their flowering positions in autumn. Earlier sowings will flower the same year; later sowings will bloom earlier the following year.
