SOIL TYPE: Well drained

IDEAL FOR: Border

SOWING TIME: February to June or September to October.

SOWING: Germinate at 13-15C (55-59F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light at any stage, as this helps germination.
