Sow Seeds

Sow in September for larger, stronger plants and/or in late April.  Can be sown in modules to transplant later or directly into the soil.  Pre-water the soil before sowing.  Sow thinly and cover only very lightly. Do not let the soil dry out.  Grow in poor, well-drained soil and in full sun, and it is advisable to grow through some netting as they are prone to flopping over in high winds without support.
Plant Out July–October  Keep cutting and deadheading to encourage more blooms
Flowers June-September
