Growing tips
<p>Sow seeds about 5 mm deep in trays and cover lightly, as darkness aids germination; keep warm at 22-28 C. Seeds germinate in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings to 25-30 cm spacing once they have 4-6 true leaves. Give full sun and avoid overwatering, which causes root rot. Plants begin flowering roughly 60-75 days from sowing and continue through the hottest months with almost no care. Pinch early tips for bushier plants.</p>
