Sowing Information

Sow the seed thinly in pots or trays on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approx. 15-20°C (60-68°F) in a good quality, finely sieved, moist compost, 6mm (1?4") deep. Germination 5-14 days. Transplant seedlings spacing them 5cm (2") apart in trays and grow on. Acclimatise the plants to outside conditions and plant 15-23cm (6-9") apart in a sunny site. Alternatively sow thinly direct outside into finely raked, moist, warm, weed free soil where the plants are to flower 6mm (1?4") deep.
