Sow into flats or preferred seedling container 6 weeks before your transplant date.. Cover seeds lightly with vermiculite. Seeds germinate best at 20-22 °C. Higher temperatures reduce germination. Grow on at 15-18 °C for 3-4 weeks. Harden-off and transplant. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIRECT SEED\u003c\/strong\u003e - After last frost, sow 0.6mm deep.
