When to sow Sow the seeds for seedlings in March–April on the soil surface (they need light), covered with only a thin layer of soil and keep at 18–22 °C. Seeds germinate in 1–2 weeks.

Planting out Plant the seedlings out in mid-May, 25–30 cm apart. Choose a sunny spot.

Care Water moderately, more in dry spells, and keep the bed weed-free. Cut the flowers for drying when they are half open; hang them upside down in bunches in a dry, shaded place.

Feeding and flowering Feed 1–2 times with a flowering-plant fertiliser and remove faded flowers – this prolongs flowering. Flowers in July–September; height 40–80 cm.
