How to Grow:

1. Sowing: Sow seeds indoors from late winter to early spring in seed trays filled with fine, moist compost. Lightly press seeds into the surface but do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
2. Germination: Keep trays at 15-18C (59-64F). Germination usually takes 14-28 days.
3. Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in cooler conditions.
4. Planting: Harden off and plant out in late spring after the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 45-60cm (18-24 inches) apart.
5. Care: Water regularly, especially in dry weather. Provide support for tall stems and deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooms. In autumn, cut back faded stems for strong regrowth the following year.
