Sowing Instructions
Sow indoors for best results anytime from February 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. - Cover seed with a very light layer of compost
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 April until June, thinning out as they grow.
