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 20cm (8") apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three weekly intervals. Sowings made in curves rather than straight lines often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the follwing year, often earlier than spring sowings.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Part shade
Hints & Tips: Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season. Why not grow some in the vegetable garden just for cutting?
