Bushy compact plants flower over a long period brightening autumn, spring or summer containers. Spring sowings will give flowers during early summer, whilst summer and autumn sowings will bloom the following winter or spring. How to sow Sow December to March or July to September on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a constant temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 14-21 days. Take care not to provide too high a temperature, as this can prevent germination. Spring sowings will give flowers during early summer, whilst summer and autumn sowings will bloom the following winter or spring. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch)pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23cm (9 inches)apart, or plant into baskets and containers. Aftercare For best results, provide a light, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. Overwinter September sowings in a coldframe then plant out the following spring.
