Sow from March to early May on the surface of a good seed sowing compost. Germination takes 14-20 days at 18-25C (65-75F).

They can also be sown where they are to flower in April, 6mm (¼in) deep, in moist, well raked soil and thinned out to 25cm (10in) apart.

When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow on in cooler conditions. When well grown, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days and plant out during May after all risk of frost has passed 30cm (12in) apart in full sun and well drained soil.
