Sow indoors January-March, thinly on the surface of moist seed compost at 15-20°C. Press the seed gently into the surface without covering, as light aids germination. Prick out seedlings in small clumps when large enough to handle. Harden off and plant outdoors from late May after the risk of frost, spacing around 10-15cm apart. Keep moist throughout the growing season. Flowers June-October.
