| Sowing/Growing information | |
| Sowing | Sow the seed in a 144 cell plug tray as this is a good size for transfer to hanging baskets at a later date. Sow on the surface of a moist seed sowing compost and cover the seed with a good 5mm covering of vermiculite. Propagate at 20C and germination should result within 7 days. Be prepared to move the seedlings from the propagation area quickly and cool down to 15C, as they will stretch very quickly. |
| Growing | Continue to grow the seedlings on at 15C until they are established and fill the tray. Transfer to a 12 pack, 6 pack or 9cm pot and continue to grow on at 10 to 15C. Early February sowings will result in flowering plants for sale in late April / May. Later sowings made in April can be potted on into 1 litre pots for sales of more established flowering plants in late June. |
