Sow seeds directly in spring once soil has warmed, or start indoors 3–4 weeks before transplanting. Sow on the surface of moist seed-raising mix and cover lightly. Space plants 25–30 cm apart. Sulphureus types thrive in drier conditions and are more heat-tolerant than \u003cem\u003ebipinnatus\u003c\/em\u003e — avoid overwatering. Deadhead regularly to keep plants flowering prolifically from summer through to autumn.
