Sow in trays under a light shelter, keeping the substrate moist. Transplant into individual cups when plants reach 3 or 4 cm. Plant out after the last frosts, 30 cm apart in all directions. It is also possible to sow directly in place, covering the seeds very lightly. Keep the soil moist. Then thin out to 30 cm in all directions. Staggered sowing will prolong flowering. Autumn sowing can be used for early spring flowering.
