Plant Information
Care Guide
Sow indoors, February - April, 0.5cm (¼in) deep, in trays of compost.
Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days.
Transplant 5cm (2in) apart, to other trays when large enough to handle, holding by a leaf, never by the stem. Grow on in cooler conditions.
Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out, May-June, 30cm (1ft) apart, into well-drained soil, when all risk of frost has passed.
Alternatively, sow outdoors April - May where they are to flower, 1.5cm (½in) deep in finely prepared soil.
Flowers: June - October.
