How do you sow love-in-a-mist outdoors?
Sow love-in-a-mist directly where it is to grow in spring. Autumn sowing is also possible in sufficiently mild climates with well-drained soil. Choose a sunny spot, remove weeds and prepare a fine seedbed without requiring deep cultivation.
Sow thinly and cover the seeds with a fine layer of soil, about a few millimetres, following your seed packet. Firm gently and water with a fine spray. Keep the soil moist without waterlogging until germination.
Then thin to about 15 to 20 cm between plants depending on the variety. This is the spacing after thinning, not the distance between every seed at sowing. Watch for weeds and water in dry weather during establishment.
