| When to sow | Sow indoors in March to May or September to October |
| Where to sow | Sow indoors on the surface of moist compost filled pots or trays and cover with a light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a warm, light position (temperature of 18 to 24°C (64 to 75°F) is ideal). |
| What to do next | When seedlings sown indoors are large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays and grow on in cooler conditions. |
| When all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise indoor raised seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Then transplant into final growing position planting them 40cm (16in) apart. | |
| Water well until plants are established. | |
| Cutting the plants back hard after they have finished flowering will help keep them bushy - and may encourage a second flush of flowers. | |
| Flowering period | March to June |
| Uses | Ground Cover, Cottage Gardens, Alpine & Rockery, Wildlife and Low Maintenance Garden |
| Height | 10cm (4in) |
| Spread | 40cm (16in) |
