Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors in trays of compost. Water well and place in a greenhouse or cold frame. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm (1') apart, when frosts are over.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors where they are to flower, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 30cm (1') apart. Water well until plants are established.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Full sun
Hints & Tips: Remove dead heads regularly to prolong the flowering season. Once planted out in the garden, avoid overhead watering if possible, as this will help prevent disease.
