Cleome hassleriana 'Rose Queen'

Sowing method: Feb-May, sow indoors in a warm spot, very shallowly. After germination, move to a light and cooler location. Use airy seed compost (3/4 coco peat with 1/4 sharp sand). For difficult germination, cooling the sown seeds for a day (or part of a day) helps.
