Excellent for bedding edging and the vegetable or flower garden. Height 20-30cm (8-12in).
Sowing Instructions
Sow seeds 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in good seed sowing compost from Late February to late April. Germination takes 7-14 days at 65-70F (18-20C).
Growing instructions
When large enough to handle transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots and when well grown gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions. Plant out in May after all risk of frost has passed 30cm (12in) apart in full sun and well drained soil. For container plants and hanging baskets grow on in 7.5cm (3in) pots until well rooted and then plant up allowing each plant 10-15cm (4-6in) of space.
