Sowing Instructions

Sow in February/March for flowering the same year or in August for overwintering. Use a good seed compost and just cover the seed with a thin layer of compost or Sow-Lite (vermiculite). Germination takes 14-30 days at 15-18C (60-65F). Don't exclude light, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful.
