Please Note: Even though wild flowers they should not be scattered in the wild without the authorisation of your local Nature Conservation Trust.
Sow spring or autumn in a sunny, weed free site, preferably of low fertility, don't use fertiliser. Rake well to make a seed bed, mix the seed with 9 parts dry sand and sow evenly. Lightly rake in and firm the soil with the feet or a roller. Thin out seedlings carefully to 3cm apart and transplant thinnings carefully. Keep free of common garden weeds and grass.
