Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio.

Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth and apply a deep, dry mulch around the base of the plant in autumn if planted in open ground and protect with cloches or plant protection fleece if hard frost is forecast.

If top growth is damaged by the cold, the plants often re-grow from the base in spring. While a perennial, this Brachyscome is often grown as an annual.
