Transplant them, 5cm (2″) apart, to other trays, when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out into well-drained soil, May-October, 20cm (8″) apart, when frosts are over. Or, sow outdoors, April-July to flower the following year, in a seed bed, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2″) apart, before planting out to flowering position in autumn, spacing 20cm (8″) apart. Flowers: June to October.
