Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Transplant individually when large enough to handle to 8cm (3") pots. (Hold seedlings by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 25cm (10") apart.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors in a seed bed, 0.5cm (1/4") deep into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 21-35 days. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2") apart when large enough to handle, keep moist and weed free. Plant out to flowering position in autumn, allowing 25cm (10") between plants.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Part shade
Hints & Tips: Allow plants to shed their seeds to get further plants in subsequent years.
