Sowing Instructions
Sow indoors for best results anytime from October until April in a seed tray of fine, quality compost. Sow seeds evenly on the soil surface and keep in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or windowsill. Continue to water until the seedlings appear, germination can take between 3 to 6 weeks. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, separate each young plant into individual pots ready to acclimatise to the outdoors. Plants can be transplanted where they are to flower from May. - Alternatively sow seeds directly outdoors from mid-March until June, into finely raked, moist compost, when the ground is a little warmer.
-
Germination can take up to 3 weeks. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin out to approximately 20cm, as they will spread out as they grow
