Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors, a warm kitchen 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 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Keep compost moist. The tray can be covered with clingfilm to prserve 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 (avoid frosts) before planting out 15cm (6") apart, when frosts are over.

Hints & Tips: Trim back plants after the first flush of flowers fades to encourage a further flowering.
