Growing Information

When to Sow

For annual flowering, sow indoors from February to March and transplant outdoors in April or May.

For biennial flowering, sow outdoors in a seedbed from mid-July to mid-August and transplant to their final position in autumn for beautiful spring flowering the following year.

How to Sow

Sow seeds thinly in a seed tray or prepared seedbed, covering lightly with fine compost. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination. Transplant seedlings once they are large enough to handle and allow enough space for healthy growth.

Growing Tips

Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry weather and remove faded flowers to encourage a longer flowering season. Ideal for borders, containers, edging and window boxes.
