■ Cheerful and colourful mixture, is easy to grow up and generally free of problems.
■ Very fine seed, though, so sow thinly.
■ Sow in a greenhouse in seed trays at room temperature.
■ After emergence, prick out in pots, harden off and when the plants are sufficiently large, transplant to their final destination.
■ Beware of night frost.
■ Suitable for borders, flower beds, pots and window boxes.
