Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors to flower the same year, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place on a warm windowsill. A temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Grandually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts) before planting out 25cm (10") apart, when frosts are over.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors to flower the following year, in a seed bed, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 10cm (4") apart before planting out to flowering positions in autumn, spacing 25cm (10") apart to flower the following year.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
