Sowing Instructions

1. When to sow: May to July for flowers the following spring.

2. How to sow:

   • Sow on the surface of moist seed compost, as seeds need light to germinate.

   • Keep at 15–20°C; germination takes 14–28 days.

3. Transplant/Thin: Prick out seedlings when large enough to handle and grow on in cooler conditions. Harden off before planting 15–20 cm apart.

4. Care: Regular deadheading encourages longer flowering. Protect young plants from harsh frost.
