Sowing – Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Do not cover seed. Keep at a temperature of between 21- 25°C (70-75°F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 14-30 days.

Growing – When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.

Flowers – August to September
