Sowing Instructions
Sow on to the surface of a moist seed sowing compost in a 576 plug tray or similar size unit using 3 to 4 seeds per cell. Do not cover the seed and propagate at 15 to 18 c. Germination should take place after approximately 7 days. After germination grow the seedlings on at 15 c until they are established.
Growing Instructions
When the seedlings are established cool them down slightly to 10 c and transfer on to a 6 Pack or 9cm pot for final sale. January sowings should result in saleable plants late April. Later sowings can be made in Late March-April for later pot bedding sales in June. These can be sown in the same way but transfer 3 plugs to a 1 litre pot for a compact flowering plant that completely fills the pot.
