SOW: sow seeds during March to April in pots filled with seed compost. Germination can be a bit hit-and-miss, so sow three or four seeds per potāyouāll only need about nine plants per square meter. For best results, just cover the seeds with compost, pop the pots in a plastic bag to keep moisture in, and keep them warm at around 18ā20Ā°C. They usually take 2ā3 weeks to come up.
GROW: once all danger of frost has passed (usually late May), harden off the plants and transplant them outside. Space them about 20ā25cm apart. They like a sunny spot with well-drained soil and might need a few sticks for support as they grow.
ENJOY: pick your flowers in the morning when some blooms are open, and change the water daily to keep them fresh. Deadhead regularly to help the plants keep blooming longer in the garden.
