WHERE TO SOW Under cover sow onto the surface of pots or trays filled with moist seed sowing compost. Do not cover as light helps germination.

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 45cm (18") apart.
WHAT TO DO NEXT When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into pots or trays and grow on until large enough to plant out in a sunny border. MATURITY May to June the following year.
HANDY TIP Plant in large drifts where the colourful nodding heads will gently sway in a breeze.
