Growing Info
Sowing: *Very small seed* Sow in the late summer/Early Autumn (Sep - Oct) or in early spring (Jan - Feb). The seeds need light to germinate sow cover very thinly with vermiculite or sand. Prick out into modules once large enough to handle. They do not like root disturbance so handle them gently. Always water from below (bottom-water) to prevent disturbing the tiny seeds. Plant out in late winter/early spring to a cool, sheltered, well‑drained site or an unheated tunnel. When planting directly overwinter, Grow them on in an unheated greenhouse or cold frame.
Spacing: 30cm, Plant out as soon as two true leaves have formed.
Flowering: Early Spring - Sep, Pick the flowers often to encourage more flowers to form; they should keep flowering from March well into the autumn.
