Cultivation method:
Start seeds indoors in March in a soilless mix, ideally in peat pots to minimise stress when pricking out. Transplant directly into the garden in late May. For an easier alternative, sow directly outdoors in May or autumn. Lightly cover the seeds with a sieve of fine soil and keep the soil moist until germination.
Space seedlings to cover approximately 2m² with 5g of seed. Once established, these hardy plants thrive in full sun with little maintenance, providing extensive flowering and unique visual appeal to your garden.
