Easy to grow, the pure yellow form of the ever-popular Poached Eggs produces a spreading carpet of bright sulphur throughout summer. The perfect, sparkling catalyst for the front of borders, rockeries and containers.

Sow April to May or September to October. Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 3mm (1/8in) deep, in rows 30cm (12in) apart.

For spring/summer flowering pot plants Sow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory in late summer/early autumn. Grow on cool in full light and water sparingly.

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart.
