Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors to flower the same year, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. A temperature of 20-25oC (68-77oF) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlngs usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always hold seedlings by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frost) before planting out 23cm (9") apart when frosts are over.
