Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | March to May. |
|---|
Sow outdoors where they are to flower once the soil has warmed. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sprinkle the seed thinly over the surface, then rake lightly to ensure seed is just covered. Alternatively, sow 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in drills, 30cm (12in) apart. Germination usually takes 14-21 days.
Growing Instructions
As seedlings germinate, thin out any that are too close together so that remaining plants are about 10cm (4in) apart. Regular removal of spent flowers will encourage further blooming.
Aftercare Instructions
Prefers a well drained soil in full sun.
