Plant the seedsany time from mid to late autumn. The seeds can be sown shallowly in pots or trays indoors and can take 30 - 90 days to germinate so be patient with them because the wait is very worth while.
Plant the seedlings about 30 cm apart in the garden once they reach12-15cm tall.
Because they grow tall you can make great use of them by planting alongside walls or in amongst leafy plants such as fernswhich they will rise above in a splash of colour.
