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.
