Reviewed by Hugh on 22nd March 2023
6 or 7 seedlings germinated from the pack of seed, which is fair enough as they grow into quite sizable perennials.
Rating: 5

Thank you for your review. These can be a little erratic to germinate, and may need a period of cold stratification for up to three months to break the dormancy of the seeds. We hope that your seedlings continue to do well for you and you enjoy time spent in your garden this year. The Chiltern Seeds Team.

Germination Instructions
Sow indoors. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Just cover with vermiculite. Ideal temp. 15-18°C. Germination can be slow and erratic, taking from 2 weeks to several months. If germination does not occur cold stratify. Move to 4°C for 3 months then return to warmth. Ensure compost is moist at all times. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on. Acclimatise and plant out with 60cm spacing. Can be sown directly in autumn where overwintering should offer the natural cold/ warmth conditions required for germination.
Growing Instructions
Prefers a well-drained soil in full sun.
Cultivation Instructions
Deadhead or cut to shape to avoid self-seeding. Will self-seed freely, but excess seedlings are easily removed.
When to Sow
Approximate number of seeds per packet: 35
