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.
