Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors for surest results, 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. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 21-35 days. Pot on individually when large enough to handle to 8cm (3") pots. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 30cm (1') apart.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors in a seed bed, into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2") apart before planting out to flowering position in autumn.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Part shade
Hints & Tips: When floweing finishes in ealry summer, trim back the plants to retain their shape for next spring.
