Sowing of Flower Seed
Sow late winter to mid spring at 18-24C (65-75F) on the surface of a good seed compost and gently firm down.
Keep soil damp but not wet.
Do not exclude light, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful.
Germination usually takes 14-21 days.
Growing of Flower Seed
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant in bunches of 3 or 4 per 7.5cm (3in) pot and grow on in cooler conditions.
Plant up into containers, hanging baskets etc. and leave for 10-15 days before moving out of doors after all risk of frost.
