Thinning: Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 25cm (9in) apart to give each plant enough space to thrive.
Growing notes: Keep the soil moist during germination. You can also sow outdoors in August or September; these seeds will establish just as well in cooler weather. Remove flowers as they die to prolong the flowering season.
