Germination

Sow indoors in spring or sow directly after danger of frost has passed. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Do not cover seed as light is needed for germination. Simply press seeds into the soil. Ideal temp. 20°C. Germination takes 15-30 days approx. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to individual pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Acclimatise and plant out after danger of frost has passed.

Growing

Prefers any ordinary, moist but well-drained soil in full or partial sun. Does not like to be transplanted once established. Late to emerge in spring, mark where the crown is or leave last years growth in place to avoid damage.

Cultivation

Deadhead regularly to extend the flowering window. Prune back after flowering to maintain shape.
