Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:Indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost or outdoors after last frost where summers are long.

Sow in pots or trays of moist seed sowing mix and cover with a very fine sprinkling of sowing mix or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 10-21 days.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23cm (9in) apart. For best results, provide a moist, well-drained soil in full sun.

Aftercare Instructions

In long season areas can also be sown once the soil has warmed, 3mm (1/8in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart in well-cultivated soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 23cm (9in) apart. Remove faded flowers to promote blooming.
