Sowing and harvesting time

Sow indoors Sow outdoors Harvest

- Mature Height 80cm
- Mature Spread 50cm
- Planting Lightly press seeds into soil and lightly cover
- Soil Type Moist soil
- Pruning Self-seeds readily so remove faded flowers if you do not want more plants
Can be sown indoors all year round or directly outside from May to August. Surface sow them onto moist seed compost. Cover with a fine sprinkling of soil as they need light to germinate. Keep their soil moist at all times. Transplant indoor-grown seedlings once they've grown their first set of true leaves (the second set of leaves to grow). Plant outside once the danger of frost has passed. Cut back after flowering to encourage fresh growth. Can become invasive if left to self-seed.
