Germination
Sow directly where they are to flower in spring, or late summer/ early autumn for overwintering. Sow 3mm deep in rows 30cm apart into soil which has been well prepared and raked to a fine tilth. Germination time varies according to weather. Once germinated thin seedlings to 15cm spacing. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed. For summer sown seeds overwinter in cool frost free conditions and plant out the following spring.
Growing
Once established easy to grow. Do not fertilise as this reduces blooming. Does not like root disturbance.
Cultivation
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooms.
