Germination

Direct Sow. Surface sow onto moist well prepared soil which has been raked to a fine tilth, press seeds into soil and lightly cover. Ideal temp. 20-23°C. Germination takes 14-21 days. Grow on at 17-20°C. Thin to 30-50cm spacing. Can be started indoors 8-10 weeks before last expected frost.

Growing

Prefers well-drained loamy soil in full sun in a frost free area. Reduce watering after flowering. Keep almost dry in winter. Can be grown as a house plant and moved outside in summer.

Cultivation

Will self-seed freely in areas with warm winters. Deadhead to prevent self-seeding.
