How To Grow Victorian Polyanthus From Seed

Sow in seed trays that have been well soaked in water and allowed to drain. Sow seed thinly on the surface and do not cover as they need diffused light to germinate.
Ideal germination temperature is 55°f - 60°f.
Germination temperatures higher than 65°f or strong sunlight will spell failure.
Approximately 14 days after sowing chitting will have occurred (ie you will see signs of germination); thinly cover with fine seed compost and allow to grow on in diffused light.
Avoid strong sunlight as young seedlings.
Transplant and grow on in pots when large enough to handle before planting out 10” apart.
