Sow & Grow:

Sow indoors, February-May, to flower the same year, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, in a tray of compost. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant them, 5cm (2″) apart, to further trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out into moisture-retentive soil, May-October, 25cm (10″) apart, when frosts are over. Or, sow outdoors to flower the following year, April-July, in a seed bed, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, into finely-prepared, moisture-retentive soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2″) apart, before planting out to flowering position in autumn. Plants are generally quite short-lived. Allow them to shed their seeds for further plants in subsequent years. Flowers: May-July.
