Keep at a temperature of between 15-20oC (59-68oF). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 10-21 days. When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays to grow on. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out (after October for winter flowering). Plant 15cm (6in) apart. Outdoors: Plant seeds outdoors in the open ground or in a cold frame from mid summer to early autumn in soil enriched with compost. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil & keep moist until seedlings are established. Protect seedlings with a light mulch of straw until frost danger is past.
