Sowing Instructions:

• Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors onto moist, well-drained seed compost.
• Light Requirement: Seeds need light for germination—press lightly into the soil but do not cover.
• Temperature: Keep at 18–20°C.
• Germination Time: Typically 14–28 days, but germination can be irregular and take up to 90 days.
• Watering: Water only from the base to prevent seed disturbance.
• Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough, transplant to 8cm pots.
• Planting Out: After the danger of frost has passed, acclimatise seedlings and plant out with 50cm spacing.

Growing Instructions:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun.
• Soil: Any free-draining soil will work.
• Watering: Requires little maintenance; water every week or two.
• Support: In exposed conditions, staking may be necessary.

Cultivation Instructions:

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming.
• Self-Seeding: While it self-seeds, collecting seeds for future sowing is recommended.
• Winter Care: Provide winter protection, such as a mulch, in colder climates.
