How to grow Godetia

Sow directly where the plants are to flower.
Sow in wavy lines for a more natural effect
Keep well watered until the plants are well established
Flowers mid to late summer
To prolong the flowering season make a second sowing Late spring early summer.
Sowings later in the year may flower in the following season

Sow spring time in a sunny spot when the soil has warmed. Thin to 20 to 25 cm to allow the flowers to be at their best
A second sowing in late spring very early summer will prolong the flowering season
Can also be sown early autumn for earlier flowers the next summer
Sow a tiny pinch of seed directly into established containers for surprise flowers later in the season

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 8.97 inches (23.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.04 inches (0.1 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

Best grown in the place they are to flower and thinned, they don’t seem to transplant well

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 10°C / 50°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Godetia is a half hardy plant.

Annuals tend to give up flowering if allowed to go to seed, so dead head if possible and seed save only at the end off the flowering season

These estimates for how long Godetia takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.
