Germination
Sow indoors. Sow 2mm deep into moist well-drained seed compost. Propagate 18-21°C. Germination takes 2-3 weeks. Transplant seedlings once when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on at 10°C. Acclimatise and plant out after danger of frost has passed with 50cm spacing.
Growing
Easy to grow. You may use a liquid fungicide as protection against damping off.
Cultivation
Deadhead regularly.
