It took me a while to persuade these to germinate - but last year I did it over a little bit of warmth - and what a difference! I couldn’t move for seedlings. A really fabulous plant - Once you’ve got a couple it starts appearing all over the place

Thank you for your review. These do like warmth to get them started, we are pleased you tried this and it helped them along! The Chiltern Seeds Team.

Didn’t have the knack of handling the super delicate seeds at first and not many germinated. Had honed my skills second time around and although they were relatively slow to get started they now seem pretty robust (one got eaten down to the root, sending me on a vengeful quest to rehome every slug and snail in the garden). The first three plants I grew are now getting flowers, even though they warn it mightn’t happen until year two. I had been tempted to give up and just buy established plants but now I’m really pleased I resisted (and a bit smug that it’s cost me under a fiver for seeds compost). I’m a beginner gardener.

Thank you for your review. We too are pleased you didn't give up. It is really great to hear you have some flowers already and costing much less than plants, as well as the satisfaction of growing them yourself. We hope you continue with your gardening and your plants continue to thrive also. The Chiltern Seeds Team.

Germination Instructions
Sow indoors. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Propagate or place somewhere warm, ideal temp. 15-20°C. Do not exclude light. Germination takes 14-30 days. When large enough to handle transplant seedlings to 8cm pots. Acclimatise and plant out once plants are 2-3cm tall with 25cm spacing.
Growing Instructions
Prefers a moist well-drained soil in full sun. Requires little attention.
Cultivation Instructions
If sown early will flower in the first year. May be hardy in warmer regions otherwise will require frost protection. Cut back flowered stems to ground level in early spring. Lift and divide large clumps every 2-3 years in Mar-May, discard woody crowns.
