For early bloom sow seeds indoors at 21C (70F), 6 weeks before planting out and frosts have ended. In gardens or rockeries, sow 25 -30 cms apart. Mix 1 packet of seeds with half-bucket of sand/compost mix for 2-3 square metres of garden. Vary area and planting density if you wish.
Sowing should be done in May or June in coastal areas and, in colder areas, they are best sown in peat pots or seedling flats in June or July. In areas subject to frost, germination success can be improved by sowing after frosts have passed.
Brachycome may be half hardy annuals or perennials.
