Technical specifications
| Approx. Seed count | 70 seeds |
| When to Sow | February to June and September |
| Where to Sow | Soak seeds overnight in warm water before sowing. Place seeds on the surface of good free-draining compost and cover with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite to the seeds' own depth. Place the container in a propagator or a warm place until after germination, which usually takes 18-21 days. In some conditions, germination can take up to 60 days. |
| What to Do Next | Transplant seedlings into pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in cooler conditions. Once they are established, plant them out at the recommended spacing. For September sowings, overwinter in a cold frame and plant out the following spring. |
| Flowers | May to July the following year |
