| When to sow | May to July |
| Where to sow | Sow indoors 0.5cm (1/4in) deep in moist compost filled pots or trays and cover the seeds with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a warm position (temperature of 21-25°C (70-77°F) is ideal). |
| Sow direct outdoors in flowering position, 0.5cm (1/4in) deep once danger of frost has passed. | |
| What to do next | For seeds sown indoors , when seedlings are large enough to handle and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Then transplant into final growing position planting them 20cm (8in) apart. |
| Thin the seedlings sown direct outdoors out so they are 20cm (8in) apart. Carefully replant thinned plants to fill any gaps. | |
| Water well until plants are established. | |
| Handy tips | A biennial plant which self-seeds freely so appears as a perennial. Pull up plants once flowering has finished to restrict spread. |
| Flowering period | April to June. |
| Uses | Ideal for bedding and containers. |
