Sow shallowly into moist but not wet seed compost and keep warm until after germination has taken place. When large enough to handle transplant into small pots, and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatize before planting out at 30cm intervals after all risk of frost has passed. Later sowings can be done direct into a well-prepared bed
Remove dead heads to prolong flowering. Grow some plants in pots then pull out to fill gaps in borders.
