Soil Type Moist but well-drained soil

Growing at a glance…

Sow directly outdoors from March to May or August to September for flowering the following year. If you sow them early, then you may get flowers that first year. Ensure soil is well-drained and sandy, as well as somewhere that gets plenty of sunlight. Sow thinly on well-tilled soil and rake in. They may take around 66-8 weeks to germinate if they're given perfect conditions. These plants will self-seed readily if left to their own devices once they start to die back.
