Germination
Can be sown outside at any time. Best sown into a cold frame in autumn. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover seed with a sprinkling of seed. Keep moist. Allow natural winter cold to offer ideal conditions for germination to occur in spring as the weather warms. Germination is likely to occur in the spring after sowing regardless of when the seeds are sown. Do not discard the seed tray prematurely.
Growing
Prefers fertile, well-drained, moist soil in full sun or partial shade.
Cultivation
Deadhead if you do not want it to self-seed. This biennial plant will die after flowering. If you would like volunteer seedlings for the following year allow flower heads to go to seed and subsequently self seed.
