Sowing Information

Chilling in the fridge for 2 weeks prior to sowing may improve germination. For first year flowering -sow mid-January-March in trays at 13-21°C (55-70°F) onto a moist seed compost covering lightly. Germination 21-40 days. Transfer resulting seedlings 8cm (3") apart into further trays and acclimatise to outside conditions before planting out. For second year flowering - sow May-July direct into a well-prepared seedbed at a depth of 6mm (1?4"), thinning in stages to a final spacing of 45-60cm (11⁄2-2').
