Where to Sow

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost and cover with a very light sprinkling of vermiculite. Place sown container in a propagator or a warm place at a temperature of 15-20°C (59-68°F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into pots and trays. Plant out into borders when plants are large enough in the late autumn after sowing, or over-winter plants ina  cold frame and plant out in the spring.

June and July the following year.
