Sowing Instructions

 

For early blooms, sow seeds indoors from January to April in seed trays or pots filled with fine compost. Lightly press seeds onto the surface and cover with a thin layer of compost. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 18–22°C for optimal germination.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. Space plants 25–30 cm apart in a sunny or partially shaded location.
