How
Sow direct where they are to grow or into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down, water gently and keep moist through the germination period. Transplant carefully (seedlings resent root disturbance) when large enough to handle.
Care
Choose a Sunny, well-drained, wind-protected position. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before planting. Water moderately and feed with Yates Yates Thrive Flower & Fruit Soluble Plant Food. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Pinch back flowers and stems to keep plants compact.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
