Additional Details

When to Sow

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 acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost has passed in a well drained soil in full sun.

What to do Next

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

Handy Tip

After cutting the first stem, keep plants watered and often side shoots will develop and produce a later flush of blooms to cut.
