How to grow Didiscus blue and white lace flowers from seed?
You can sow lace flowers directly where they are to flower in April and May. Cover seeds lightly with soil and keep moist. Or sow seeds earlier in the season, 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in seed trays and keep the seed tray in a window sill or in the greenhouse, preferably on a heat mat. Lightly cover with soil as seeds need to be in the dark to germinate. Water only from below. When the danger of frost has passed you can plant out the seedling in the garden with 20-30 cm spacing. Plants will flower in June, July, and August.
