| Sowing Tips |
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before transplanting. Surface sow onto moist seed-raising mix and gently press in—light aids germination. Harden off before planting out. Pinch at 3–4 sets of true leaves to encourage strong branching. |
| Growing Tips |
Grows best in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Provide support, especially in windy areas. Cut when one-third of the flowers have opened for best vase life. Cool nights and moderate temperatures will give the best stem length and colour. Keep harvesting or deadheading to encourage continued blooming. |
