Seed is best started indoors in a soil-less mix 6 weeks early. Leave seed uncovered on the growing medium and moisten by misting. Keep at a temperature of 24°C (75°F) for a 20-25 day germination period. Grow on at 15°C (60°F) before transplanting once the danger of frost has passed. For direct outdoor sowing, plant in a sunny site in late April, 3mm (1/8in) deep. Thin or transplant seedlings to 20cm (8in) apart in the garden when they are 5cm (2in) tall. Use for edging, in beds and in containers.
