For cut flowers you can sow direct in Spring, or sow late Aug to start Sept for an overwintered crop. Seed germinates in 3-4 weeks, taking around 5 months sowing to flowering. Autumn sown plants will flower earlier the following year.
SOWING IN SEED TRAYS: to help germination in spring you can use small seed trays and surface sow than lightly cover with Vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a polythene bag and pop in the fridge for 3 weeks then place them in a warm spot out of direct sunlight to germinate (15-18°C). Transplant seedlings and pot on as needed until you can harden them off to plant out in May. In the autumn (Sept-Dec) you pop the seed trays without bags somewhere dry and frost free (garage or shed). In the spring when you see green shoots appearing, water and keep in a bright frost-free place until danger of frost has passed, harden off and plant out.
