- Indoors Sowing Guide: Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need to start these seeds. Sow 0.5cm (1/4") deep in trays of compost. Water well and place in a temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF). Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2") apart to further trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out to flowering position, allowing 15cm (6") between plants. Early sowings will flower the same year. Those from July onwards will flower the following year.
