Planting & Harvesting
Sow & Grow
Sow outdoors, May-July, in a seed bed, 0.5cm (¼") deep, into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin them to 15cm (6") apart when large enough to handle. Keep moist and weed free. Or, transplant individually, to 7.5cm (3") pots and overwinter in a cold frame. Plant out to flowering position, September-October, allowing 20cm (8") between plants. Flowers: April to June.
Hint's & Tips
Grow in a sheltered spot to protect the blooms and to allow the perfume to linger.
