Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors a warm ktichen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly on the surface of a small tray of pre-watered compost. Place in a warm, light position. A temperature of 20-25oC (68-77oF) is ideal. Keep the compost moist. The tray can be covered with clingfilm to preserve humidity, but remove when seedlings appear. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm (10") apart, when frosts are over.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Full sun
Hints & Tips: Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season. Pinch out the central growing tip when plants are about 10cm (4") high to encourage bushy growth.
