Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost, Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a trace of vermiculite or sifted compost. Place in the warmth 20-25 degree Celsius (70-75 Fahrenheit), and keep moist.

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost.
Hardening Off/Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when danger of frost has passed. Allow 20cm (6in) between plants.
Flowering Time
June - October. Water plants daily in hot, dry weather.
