Sowing Information

Sow in trays or pots on a windowsill or greenhouse at approx. 20-25C (68-77F) onto a firmed, good quality, moist compost. Do not exclude light or allow to dry out (Germination 15-20 days). Transplant seedlings into trays 8cm (3") apart and grow on. Plant out in the autumn 30-45cm (12-18") apart to flower the following year. Alternatively, sow direct outside in a shallow groove, barely covering the fine seed. Thin to 15cm (6") and grow on before a final planting.
