Sow outdoors, April-May, where they are to flower, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin them to 30cm (12") apart. Water well until plants are established. Or sow indoors, March-April, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or greenhouse. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings, 5cm (2") apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 30cm (12") apart, when frosts are over. Flowers: July to October.
Bring wildlife into your garden: Much loved by nectar feeding insects, such as butterflies, bees and a wide range of pollinating insects. Also attracts 'pest control' predators, such as hoverflies.
