Propagating by seed
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Sow seeds in warm, moist seed compost, in early Spring. Patience needed, as seedlings grow slowly at first.
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Mid Spring
Plant in moist but free-draining and fertile soil in a sunny position, (with partial afternoon shade in warm climates). These plants are not really frost-tolerant, but might survive the Winter in a reasonably mild-Winter area, specially if given protection by being planted in a sheltered position - eg. against a wall
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Mid Autumn
These plants have a long flowering season, from late Spring all through Summer to mid Autumn
