Sowing Guide

Early Sowing/Module Sowing

Sow balsam seeds on the surface of moist (not sodden) compost in modules, trays or pots.
Lightly firm the seeds into the compost however do not cover.
Place in a propagator or if preferred cover with a clear polythene bag and seal. Place in a warm location at the temperature suggested above. Do not exclude light as this will help germination however avoid direct hot sun at this stage.
As soon as germination starts remove from the propagator or sealed bag and place in a lit area with a reduced temperature.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5 cm pots.
Grow on in a frost free location until the plants are strong and all risk of frost has passed.
Before planting out harden off over 7 - 10 days so the plants can acclimatise to the outdoor temperatures.

Direct Sowing

For best results start the plants indoors.



Growing On

Water well until the newly planted balsam are established.
Water established plants well during hot dry spells.

TIP

Dead-head regularly over the growing season to encourage more blooms to grow.
