Propagating by seed in Autumn
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Sow seed under glass in Autumn for flowers in early Summer the following year
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Plant out seedlings that have been grown in seed-trays (after hardening off, if grown in a greenhouse, or indoors) into a sunny site in well-draining soil
