Growing Info: Sow under glass Oct-April. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours prior to sowing to aid germination. Sow in deep trays, pots or root trainers, 1cm deep, and propagate at 20-25°C. Grow seedlings on in cooler temperatures and acclimatise before planting out when risk of frost has passed. Sow outdoors April-May in flat drills, 2.5cm deep, 8cm apart. Pinch out the top once the 2nd set of leaves appear to encourage side shoots. |

Aftercare: Make sure plant has support so it can climb. Deadhead and cut flowers regularly, which will prolong the flowering season. |
