Germination

Sow directly in spring, after danger of frost has passed. Sow into prepared soil which has been raked to a fine tilth and watered. Sow 1-6mm deep approx. Ideal temp. 12-22°C. Germination takes 1-8 weeks approx. although most seedlings will emerge 1-4 weeks. Germination should be easy. Thin seedlings as required. Water well until established.

Growing

Prefers any moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Requires little attention. Water when the soil begins to dry. Intermittent weeding will allow for the flower seeds to flourish.

Cultivation

Very easy to care for. Most varieties may self-seed. When flowering ceases do not cut back, this will allow seed heads to form. The seed heads will be an excellent source of food for the birds throughout the winter.
