How to Grow
Direct sow in mid-May – barely cover the seed with soil and keep moist during the 7-14 day germination period. May be started 6-8 weeks early indoors in a soil-less growing medium. Germinate at 15-18° C. Initially, seedlings are variable in both size and apparent ‘strength’. Happily, most of the seedlings will mature into beautiful plants filled with blooms. Grow-on under lights at 13-15° C then harden off and transplant to the garden in late May. Space plants 25 cm apart in the garden. Enjoys full sun.
