Sow indoors
Sow seeds into a pot of good quality compost and lightly cover. Position the pot in a warm sunny location and keep the compost damp to the touch but not wet. Germination 14-21 days.
Once seedlings emerge, turn the pot regularly to prevent plants from growing towards the sun. Once the risk of frost has passed, plants can be moved outdoors. Harden off by placing plants outdoors during the day and bringing them back indoors at night. Repeat this for 7 – 10 days to acclimatise the plants. Plants can then be transplanted into the final position in beds or containers.
Plant height: 30cm

Fertiliser
Fertiliser can be spread over beds and borders to help feed plants throughout the year. Ideally add to soil before sowing seeds, for slow release nutrients whilst plants germinate into established plants.
