in the ground
Sow directly in the ground, in rows 25 cm apart. In mild climates, it is possible to sow in place in autumn, for earlier spring flowering. In other regions, autumn sowing in pots in a greenhouse or greenhouse frame will also ensure early flowering. Transplant in spring.
Soaking seeds for 12 hours before sowing accelerates germination.
