Seeds can be sown in September to October, and if three plants are planted in a small pot and overwintered in a frame or greenhouse, they will bloom from May, but if sown in the spring, they will bloom from summer to fall. It is best to grow it without exposing it to rain during the seedling and flowering periods. ...
