What To Do Next: Sowings under glass should be pricked off into trays 5cm apart and gradually hardened off before transplanting into the flowering site 10cm apart. Outside sowings should be gradually thinned to the same spacings when seedlings are large enough to handle.
Handy Tip: Gathered flowers stay fresh in water up to 10-12 days.
