Sow Indoors
Sow seeds evenly into a tray of good quality compost and lightly cover. Position the tray in a warm sunny location and keep the compost damp to the touch but not wet. Germination approx. 21 days.
Once seedlings emerge, turn the tray 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 14 - 21 days to acclimatise the plants. Plants can then be transplanted outdoors.

Sow Outdoors
Sow seeds outdoors where they are to grow. For early flowers the following year sow seeds in October when they would naturally fall from the plant.
Sow seeds into well raked soil and cover.
