How to Grow
110 seed/gram. First season bloom is possible when the seed is started indoors in February. Germination takes 21-28 days at 18 C (65 F). Avoid higher temperatures as it affects germination success. After that grow on under lights at the same temperature before hardening off and transplanting to a sunny site in the garden in mid to late May. Direct outdoor sowing can be done anytime from May to mid August for flowering the following year. Space mature plants 60 cm (24"") apart in the garden.
