Sowing instructions: Sow spring to autumn. Sow in good free draining seed compost, just covering the seed with compost. Germination usually takes 7-21 days at 16-20 Celsius. The seed can also be sown in spring where it is to flower in a well raked moist seed bed.

Planting instructions: When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant into 8cm pots, grow cool and finally plant out 30cm apart into a sunny spot in free draining soil. Overwinter autumn sown plants in a well ventilated coldframe and plant out in spring.
