Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.

Sow the seeds in a sunny position or raise seedlings in loose, well-drained soil. Keep moderately moist until germination, without waterlogging the soil. Transplant the young plants to a permanent position, leaving enough space for development. Water moderately during dry spells, especially in the first year after planting. Remove faded flowers to prolong flowering and keep the plant tidier. Cut back the stems at the end of the season, and in spring feed with a general-purpose fertiliser for stronger growth.
