Like sheltered, sunny spots and can be grown in conservatories.
Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position.

Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 90cm (3') apart, when frosts are over. Remove dead flowers to prolong the flowering season.
