Troubleshooting

Seeds not germinating

Ensure seeds were pre-soaked or pre-sprouted correctly. Check soil temperature and moisture levels. Try sowing a few more seeds.

Seedlings are leggy or weak

Ensure seedlings are receiving adequate light. Move to a cooler, brighter location. Pinch out the tips once they reach 7-10cm to encourage stronger, bushier growth.

No flowers or few flowers

Ensure plants are in a sunny position and receiving regular feeding and watering. Frequent picking of spent flowers can encourage more blooms.

Plants are falling over

Provide adequate support structures like canes, netting, or trellis. Tie stems to the support as the plant grows taller.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Pre-Sowing: For faster germination, place seeds on moist kitchen roll in an airtight container in a warm room. Sow as soon as they swell or sprout. Alternatively, soak seeds overnight and sow immediately.

Indoor Sowing (Jan-Apr): Sow seeds individually in 8cm pots or rootrainers, 1cm deep. Water lightly after sowing and maintain a temperature of around 15°C until germination.

Growing On: Once seedlings reach 7–10cm tall, pinch out the tips to encourage bushier growth. Keep them in a cool, bright location. Autumn-sown seedlings should be kept in a cold frame, greenhouse, or under a cloche.

Outdoor Sowing (Sep-Oct or Spring): Prepare soil with compost. Sow seeds 2cm deep and about 7cm apart in pre-watered soil. Keep moist until germination and thin to approximately 20cm apart later.

Planting Out: Harden off seedlings before planting outdoors from late March onwards, spacing them 20cm apart in a sunny position. Avoid disturbing the roots.

Aftercare: Provide support (canes, netting, trellis) up to 1.8m and tie stems as they grow. Water and feed regularly. Frequent flower picking promotes continuous blooming.

Compatibility: These seeds are compatible with most garden soils, provided they are well-drained and enriched. They grow well in borders and large containers.
