- Indoors Sowing Guide: Sow indoors 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 10-15oC (50-60oF) is ideal. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 20cm (8") apart, when frosts are over.
- Outdoors Sowing Guide: Sow outdoors where they are to flower, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8") apart. Water well until plants are established and keep weed free.
