Sow indoors under cover: January to March
Direct into ground: May
Flowering months: June to October
Planting distance: 25cm
Height: 60cm
Pinch: Yes, at 5 sets of leaves snip off top 2
(Pinching means to snip off the growing tip above the first 4 set of leaves when the plant is approx 10cm tall. This will encourage to the plant to multi branch and produce more flowers.)
 
Sow indoors: Sow thinly into multi purpose compost, water sparingly, don't let the soil dry out but not too wet. Once seedlings have germinated, water from the bottom only, this avoids them damping off.
Once they are big enough to handle, transfer into individual small pots.
Plant out when the risk of frost has passed.
 
To direct sow, sprinkle where they are to grow, cover thinly with soil. Water and wait!
