- Best growing medium is free draining lightly fertilized fine seed compost.
- Surface sow pills individually in trays or plugs. Can be very lightly covered with fine vermiculite to maintain humidity.
- Seeds do require light to germinate.
- Soil germination temperature must be 22-24C for success. An unheated greenhouse or windowsill is not sufficient.
- Germination 10-15 days at correct temperature.
- If required transplant carefully when large enough to handle into 8cm (3in) pots, and grow on in cooler conditions. Sowing with pills should remove the need for pricking out seedlings.
- Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed.
- Ideal in pots, containers, baskets or border bedding displays in full sun or part shade.
