Sowing advice

Sow in spring and early summer onto moist well-drained seed raising mix. Cover with mix about 2 mm deep. Propagate at 18-20°C. Germination takes about 10-21 days. Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots. Pinch out growing points when the plant is 8cm tall to encourage a bushy habit. Plant out as the weather warms with 25cm spacing
