Sow January to March.

Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost.

Do not cover the seed.

Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 10-21 days.

Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots.

Grow on in cooler conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9-12in) apart.

Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooming.
