Sowing and harvesting time

Sow indoors Sow outdoors Harvest

- Mature Height 20cm
- Mature Spread 20cm
- Planting Sow thinly under cover after the threat of frost has gone.
- Soil Type Moist, well drained soil
- Pruning Remove faded flowers to prolong flowering
Sow thinly under cover after the threat of frost has gone. Allow them 4-6 weeks in good quality seed compost to grow decent seedlings. Lightly cover with soil once placed into their position and keep moist. Germination often takes 5-10 days. Can be sown directly outdoors in well-drained soil after the last frost (often from mid-May), but seedlings will need protection from common pests. When large enough to handle, thin & transplant into trays, growing them on under cooler conditions. For bigger, bushier plants, pinch back young seedlings down to their first set of leaves. Feed monthly and deadhead spent blooms to promote regular flowering.
