Sowing instructions: Sow thinly in well-cultivated soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Water ground regularly, especially in dry periods. Can also be sown Sep to Oct for spring/summer flowering next year. Sow in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at between 15-20C.
