How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — About 1 cm. Soak overnight in water before sowing..
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 5-10 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Moderate regular watering; quite tough once established.
• Soil: Ordinary well-draining soil; over-rich soil gives more leaves and fewer flowers.
• Temperature: 20–40°C — good in both Indian summer and monsoon.
• Fertiliser: Very little — do not give much nitrogen.

Sowing season in India

June–July (monsoon) and February–March. Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Can become invasive; few flowers in rich soil or shade.
