Growing tips
<p>Surface sow the fine seeds in trays and barely cover, as they need darkness to germinate; keep cool and moist. Germination takes <strong>7-14 days</strong>. Transplant seedlings 15-20 cm apart once 4-5 leaves form. Pinch tips early for bushier plants. Expect blooms in <strong>10-12 weeks</strong>, peaking through the cool months.</p>
