The trailing habit of this plant makes it suitable for baskets and borders, and its fern-like leaves and fine flowers stand up quite well, to wet and windy weather. It can be grown anywhere so long as it's in a sunny spot.

Week 8; Sow seeds onto the surface of fine moist seed compost, and cover with a fine dusting of vermiculite.

Place into a heated propagator or simply cover with a sheet of glass and maintain a temperature of 18°-20°C (65°-68°F)

Keep in a light place until the seeds germinate, usually about two weeks.

Once germinated, remove the lid of the propagator or remove the plastic bag and grow on until large enough to handle.

Week 15; When large enough to handle, prick them out into pots and grow on in cooler conditions, gradually hardening them off till planting out time.

Week 22; Plant out when all risk of frost has passed.
