Advice from our agronomist
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 18–20 °C. Seeds germinate in 2–3 weeks.
Planting out Plant the seedlings out in late May, 30–40 cm apart. Choose a sunny spot.
Care Water moderately, more in dry spells, and keep the bed weed-free. Tolerates drought and poor soil; does not tolerate wet sites.
Feeding and flowering Feed 1–2 times with a flowering-plant fertiliser and remove faded flowers – this prolongs flowering. Flowers in May–August; height 60–90 cm. A biennial or short-lived perennial; self-seeds readily.
