Sow indoors from February to April. Outdoors from April to June. Sow seeds indoors thinly, covering them thinly with soil. Allow to germinate somewhere warm, like a heated propagator or heated greenhouse. If they fail to germinate within 3-4 weeks, it's time to cold stratify. Move the seeds into the fridge and leave them in there for 4 weeks before returning them to the warmth. Transplant seedlings once they're large enough to handle and grow on outdoors after acclimatising for 1-2 weeks. Deadhead regularly to encourage new flower growth.
