Seed sowing

A bushy hardy annual that grows to around 300mm (12") high, and flowers from late June into September.

Week 15; Sow seed in trays of seed compost and germinate at a temperature of 18°C (64°F).

Germination should take around a week.

Week 17; Prick out into cell trays or boxes of potting compost when large enough to handle.

Gradually harden seedlings off until planting out time.

Week 21; Plant out 150mm apart in sun or partial shade, in any well drained compost enriched soil.

This plant makes a good subject for baskets and containers.
