• Sow: undercover with warmth (greenhouse, propagator, inside house) in February/March, or sow in Autumn, in seed trays or modules, cover lightly with compost and keep moist. Pot on into 3inch pots. Plant out into their final flowering position once they have outgrown the pots ( i.e. when the roots have filled the planting pot and are coming out of the bottom). Can be sown direct, thinning seedlings to 50cm apart.
