Sowing & growing

Soak seeds for a couple of days before planting. Sow under cover 5-10mm deep. 20-30c required to germinate, start seeds in a propagator or sealed polythene bag on a windowsill. These can take 3 weeks to germinate. Transfer to individual pots as soon as large enough to handle. Acclimatise to the outdoors and transplant to garden 50cm apart after the frosts have passed.

Aftercare

Remove faded flower spikes, water and feed well to get a second flush of blooms.
