Germination
Sow directly where they are to flower. Prepare soil and rake to a fine tilth. Broadcast sow with a light covering of soil. Water regularly to encourage germination. Germination should take 2 weeks at 20°C, longer in cooler weather. Once germinated thin to 40cm spacing.
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. Will self-seed freely.
