Germination

Sow indoors at any time, sow under glass in spring. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Ideal temp. 10-16°C. Germination takes 21-30 days approx. If germination has not occurred after 4 weeks cold stratify. Move to 4°C for 2-4 weeks then return to warmth for germination. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on. Acclimatise and plant out after danger of frost has passed.

Growing

Prefers any moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Requires little attention.

Cultivation

Cut back after flowering. Will self-seed freely. Deadhead if you do not want volunteer seedlings next season. Can become invasive in warmer regions. Propagate by seed.
