Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sowing Seeds: Sow seeds in early spring in a free-draining seed compost, barely covering the seeds. Maintain moist, not wet, conditions and seal in a polythene bag for germination, which takes 10-15 days at 15-18°C.
  2. Transplanting: Transplant seedlings into 7.5cm pots when large enough to handle. Grow them in cooler conditions.
  3. Acclimatization: Gradually acclimatize the plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after the last frost.
  4. Planting Location: Plant in a warm, sunny spot with light, well-drained soil, spacing plants 30cm apart.
  5. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
  6. Deadheading: Remove faded flowers to encourage continued blooming.
