How
Sow direct where they are to grow or in trays of Yates® Black Magic® Seed Raising Mix. Cover lightly, firm down and keep moist.
Care
Choose a sunny, well-drained position. Add Yates® Thrive® Natural Blood & Bone before planting and apply Yates® Thrive® Flower & Fruit Soluble Fertiliser fortnightly. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Water well when young, but once established minimal watering is required. Plants will last for years in frost free areas. Remove spent flowers to avoid self seeding.
