Sowing Instructions:

 

Sow seeds indoors from February to April in seed trays filled with fine compost. Lightly press seeds onto the surface—do not cover, as they require light for germination. Maintain a temperature of 18-22°C, and keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

 

Once seedlings develop, transplant them into small pots and harden them off before planting outdoors after the last frost.

 

For direct sowing, wait until May when temperatures are consistently warm. Space plants 15-20 cm apart in a full-sun location with well-drained soil.

 

This Mix is a stunning, low-maintenance choice for summer gardens. Its trailing habit makes it ideal for cascading over walls, containers, or hanging baskets, bringing effortless beauty to any outdoor space.
