Sow

Sow spring to autumn.  Sow in moist seed compost with a light covering of seed compost or vermiculite and keep at 10-18°C.  Germination takes 2-4 weeks.  Pre-cool the tray of sown seeds in a fridge for 2 weeks to improve germination. Protect summer/autumn sowings over the first winter in a greenhouse or cold frame, and plant out in the spring.

Grow

These are low maintenance plants once established.   Trim them back after flowering if they look untidy.  Watch out for powdery mildew.  Plants spread naturally, and can be divided in early spring.
