Shake out the seed mix gently and evenly, directly onto finely prepared soil. Lightly rake over the seedbed to cover the seeds. Water well with a fine spray. Thin out if plants become overcrowded. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display make several sowings at two to three week intervals.
