Sow in spring. Sow indoors in early spring in a tray of seed compost. Do not cover and do not exclude light, which is needed for germination. Keep at 18-20°C and germination takes 1-2 weeks. Transplant seedlings into pots when they are big enough to handle, and plant outside after the last frost about 20cm apart, and after hardening off. Or sow in late spring outside directly into cultivated soil or into a basket or container. |
| Grow |
These are half-hardy plants, so make sure you protect them from frost. Deadhead the flowers to keep them in bloom. Remove the plants in autumn after they have flowered and they have died back. |
