Description
A superb selection of clear colours without blotches. Early and free flowering mixture.
Sow late winter/spring or late summer. Sow 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in good seed compost excluding light as darkness is beneficial. Germination usually takes 14-21 days at 19-24C (65-75F). Keep the soil just moist and avoid high temperatures which will prevent germination.
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow cool. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 1-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-3cm (9- 12in) apart in most soils, sun or part shade.
Summer sowings should be moved to a cold frame and planted out in early spring.
