How to grow Mirabilis Jalapa from Seeds
Germinate from February to May at 18-20C on the surface of a good, free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite, just covering the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-14 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
Transplant seedlings, when large enough to handle, into 7.5cm pots and grow on in cooler conditions for at least 10-15 days before planting out. Plant outside after all risk of frost, 30cm apart.
