Sowing Time
February - June
Sowing Outdoors
Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly 1cm (1/2in) deep in pre-watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil. Sowings made in semi-circular lines create a natural 'drift' effect. Keep moist until seedlings appear and as required in dry spells.
Thinning
When large enough to handle thin seedlings to allow their development and prevent overcrowding.
Flowering Time
May - October
