Growing tips
<p>Sow seeds <strong>September to October</strong>. As seeds need light to germinate, <strong>surface sow</strong> on a moist, fine seed mix and do not cover; press lightly. Keep at 18-20°C for germination in <strong>10-21 days</strong>. Transplant at the 3-4 true-leaf stage into 15-20 cm pots, spacing 20-25 cm apart. Keep cool and lightly shaded. Plants flower roughly <strong>90-120 days</strong> after sowing, through mid to late winter.</p>
