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 15–18 °C. Seeds germinate in 2–3 weeks.

Planting out Plant the seedlings out in late May, 20–25 cm apart. Choose a sunny spot.

Care Water moderately, more in dry spells, and keep the bed weed-free. Do not transplant mature plants – young seedlings establish better; it self-seeds.

Feeding and flowering Feed 1–2 times with a flowering-plant fertiliser and remove faded flowers – this prolongs flowering. Flowers in June–August; height 40–60 cm. A short-lived perennial, often as a biennial; self-seeds readily.
