Sowing Time
May - July
Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth 10-15 degree Celsius (50-60 Fahrenheit), and keep moist.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost.
Hardening Off/Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out in April, 30cm (12in) apart.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow outdoors in short, shallow pre-watered rows. Lightly cover with a little soil and keep moist until seedlings emerge. Thin out to 2cm (1in) apart when large enough to handle, before transplanting to their permanent positions, 30cm (12in) apart.
Flowering Time
May - June
