Care Instructions:

• Sowing: Sow seeds thinly between February and July on the surface of a good quality, free-draining seed compost. Do not cover the seeds, as they require light to germinate.
• Germination: Keep the compost moist and place in a bright, cool position or a propagator; seedlings typically appear within 14–21 days.
• Transplanting: When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual 7.5cm pots. Harden off gradually before planting outdoors.
• Spacing: Plant approximately 30cm apart in well-drained soil to allow the mats to spread and knit together.
• Maintenance: After the flowering season has finished, cut the plants back hard to encourage fresh growth and maintain a neat, compact habit for the following spring.
