| Growing Info: Sow under glass from March-April in moist seed compost. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil but do not exclude light as it is required for germination. Place at 13-18°C.

| Aftercare: Pinch out the growing tip to encourage bushy growth and continue to deadhead to prolong the flowering. May need protection from slugs and snails, as well as staking. |
