Sowing & Growing
For indoors, sow seeds on the surface of moist but well-drained seed compost, ensuring they are lightly covered with soil. Propagate in a warm environment at temperatures ranging from 21-24°C, ensuring exposure to light for germination, which typically takes 5-14 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them and acclimatize before planting outdoors after the risk of frost has subsided. Maintain a spacing of 30cm between plants.
Growing effortlessly in any well-drained garden soil when exposed to full sun, this plant requires no additional feeding. As part of cultivation practices, regular cutting of flowers is recommended to stimulate growth and extend the overall flowering period. Alternatively, deadheading can be performed for a similar effect.
