Sowing advice

Sow seeds in spring and autumn.  Sow in trays or pots onto moist seed raising mix.
Cover lightly with mix and keep moist at about 18 to 20 deg C. Germination takes about 14 days. Reduce the temperature as soon as the seedlings emerge to about 8 degrees C. If you want to select only doubles , look for seedlings with lighter leaves as they are more likely to produce double flowers while the seedlings with darker leaves are more likely to have single flowers. Transplant into cell pots and grow on in cool temperatures. Transplant outside after the last frost
