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 (1/16 inches) deep in drills, 30cm (12 inches) apart. Germination usually takes 14 to 21 days.
Growing Instructions
As seedlings germinate, carefully thin out any that are too close together with a trowel and replant elsewhere. Regular removal of spent flowers will encourage further blooming.
