Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | from late January to July. |
|---|
Sow on the surface of a good seed sowing mix. After sowing seal the seed container in a plastic bag and don't exclude light. Make sure that the sowing mix is always moist but not over-wet. Germination takes 10-30 days at 15-18C (60-65F).
Growing Instructions
Once most of the seeds have come up, lower the temperature slightly. When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots, and grow on cool and well lit. In Autumn or early spring plant out where they are to flower 45cm (18in) apart in full sun and a rather poor, well drained soil.
