Sowing Instructions

Sow February to March in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 5-21 days.

Aftercare

For best results, provide a rich, light, well-drained soil in full sun. Can be also be sown direct outdoors where they are to flower during March.
