Annuelle naine étonnante.

Sow in spring at 15-18C (60-65F), 3mm (1/8in) deep in a good seed compost. Keep soil damp but not wet. Germination usually takes 10-21 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out, after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in sun and ordinary well drained soil. To produce longer lasting 'cut flowers', sear the cut ends over a flame or dip them in boiling water.
