Growing Information

Easily grown, versatile plants, flowering freely all summer. Happiest in poor, free-draining soil. Sow March-June outdoors, flowers June-September.

Sowing Information

Sow the seed thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm, weed free soil where the plants are to flower 13mm (1?2″) deep. Germination normally takes 10-14 days. As the seedlings develop, thin to achieve a final spacing of 25cm (10″). Use any spare plants to fill the spaces in the bed. Alternatively, for earlier plants sow on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approx. 13-18°C (55-66°F) 3 or 4 seeds to a 7.5cm (3″) pot. Plant out after acclimatizing to outside conditions.
