Spacing / density One seed per cell; space plants approximately 30 to 36 cm apart
Establishment temperature 22 to 25°C
Establishment time 4 to 5 days in official characteristics; 6 to 8 days in the cultivation text

Growing method
Fill clean cells with a porous, moist seed-starting medium. Place one seed per cell six to seven weeks before outdoor planting. Covering is optional; a light layer of coarse vermiculite may stabilize moisture. Maintain 22 to 25°C without soaking the mix. The product characteristics state four to five days for germination, while the cultivation text mentions six to eight days, so monitor emergence across that full interval. After seedlings appear, provide bright light, gentle airflow, and slightly cooler conditions. Water in small amounts when the surface begins to pale. Harden plants gradually for about one week. Transplant 7 to 10 days after the last ground frost into rich, cool, draining soil. Space plants approximately 30 to 36 cm apart, water deeply, and maintain moisture without standing water. Mulch lightly after soil warms and monitor slugs, aphids, and rots. Official product 61-0275-010 contains approximately 15 bare seeds; it is an interspecific F1 hybrid not advertised as organic. Plants reach 28 to 33 cm tall, spread 46 to 51 cm, and flower in mixed colours from June to September in sun or partial shade. Check light, moisture, and drainage regularly, then adapt care to observed conditions.

Soil and care

The right conditions.

Exposure Sun or partial shade
Soil pH Slightly acidic, approximately 5.8 to 6.2 at the seedling stage
Minimum temperature Protect from frost; move indoors or replace before freezing temperatures
Watering
Keep the growing mix evenly moist during germination without saturating it. After emergence, water when the surface begins to dry slightly. Outdoors, direct water to the root zone every two or three days during establishment, then adjust frequency for heat and rainfall. Containers dry faster. Empty saucers and avoid keeping foliage constantly wet, which helps reduce disease pressure while maintaining steady flowering.
Soil type
Indoors, use a fine, porous, clean, very well-drained seed-starting mix that retains moisture without suffocating young roots. After transplanting, choose cool soil rich in organic matter with reliable drainage. Loosen the ground, incorporate mature compost, and avoid areas where water remains after rain. In containers, always confirm that drainage holes stay open and that the growing mix does not compact.
Fertilization
Incorporate mature compost or quality mix before planting. In containers, use a balanced flowering-plant fertilizer according to its label, at a moderate rate and on already moist mix. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages soft foliage at the expense of flowers. Occasionally flush the potting mix if visible salts accumulate.
