Sowing, Seeds, Planting Sow indoors late winter at 13°C (55°F) in a moist seed compost, covering with a thin layer too. Keep in the dark. Germination can take up to a month but check regularly. Transfer resulting seedlings into 9cm pots and acclimatise to outside conditions before planting out.
Care Tips Protect young plants from slugs and night frosts, water and fertilise until flowers are produced then support flower spikes. Remove flowers early to encourage more blooms. Mildew will eventually find its way on to the plant towards the end of the season. I would not bother spraying for this just try to prevent it by offering good air circulation and moist soil.
Flowering June - September
Harvesting Flower production: 2-3 months
