Sow Sow in spring to autumn.  Sow on the surface of a tray of moist seed compost.  Press the seeds lightly into the compost and cover with a clear lid. Do not exclude light.  Keep at 15-25°C, cooler at night.  Germination takes 3-4 weeks, sometimes up to two months. Transplant seedlings into pots when they are big enough to handle and into the garden after the last frost. Protect summer/autumn seedlings over the winter in a greenhouse or cold frame before planting out in the spring.  
Grow Plants typically flower in the season after sowing.  Plants may need staking in exposed gardens.  Plants die back in winter, when the stems can be removed at ground level, and they start growing again in spring.  Mature clumps can be divided in spring.
