Timing

Timing
Indoors, start Aurinia seeds 8-10 weeks before planting out. Or direct sow in early spring, when there is still a risk of frost, or in early autumn.

Starting

Starting
Sow seeds on the surface of the soil. Light is required to help the seeds break their dormancy. At 10-12°C (50-55°F) Aurinia seeds will take 5 to 14 days to sprout.

Growing

Growing
If transplanting from indoor starts, do so in early spring when the soil is still cool, but the threat of frost has passed. Daytime temperatures should be steadily above 10°C (50°F). Space plants around 30cm (12″) apart in full sun, in well-drained soil. Aurinia plants will become leggy in rich soil, so do not feed. Water plants in periods of very dry weather. Cut plants back hard after flowering to prevent self sowing.
