GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

• When to Sow: May to July.

• Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 15°C – 20°C.

• Germination: Usually occurs within 14–21 days.

• Care: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into pots. Plant out in their final flowering position in autumn for a spectacular display the following summer. They thrive in full sun or dappled shade.
