Where to Sow

Sow seed thinly in drills 45cm (18") apart in well cultivated soil raked to a fine tilth. Germination usually takes 15-21 days. For earlier sowings sow indoors, individually in 7.5cm (3") pots at 20-25°C. When well grown, gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost has passed, in a well drained soil. Position in full sun or into containers.

What to do Next

When large enough to handle, thin to 45cm (18") apart.

Handy Tip

Adds interest to the back of borders and makes a superb cut flower.
