Germination
Sow indoors Feb-Apr. Sow 2mm deep into moist, well-drained seed compost. Ideal temp. 15°C. Germination takes 10-15 days. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed.
Growing
Prefers a sandy soil which has been enriched with humus, but any deep, moist but well-drained soil will suffice. Full sun is preferred.
Cultivation
Deadhead spent flowers to extend the flowering window. Annual plant, pull and compost at the end of the season.
