Germination

Sow indoors in spring. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Cover with a sprinkling of soil only as light is needed for germination. Ideal temp. 22-24°C. Germination takes 7-15 days. Once seedlings are large enough to handle transplant to 8cm pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed with 30cm spacing.

Growing

Prefers a moderately fertile neutral to alkaline, well-drained soil in full sun.

Cultivation

Self sows freely. Deadhead if you do not want volunteer seedlings next season.
