How To Grow Malope From Seed: Using seedling modules or small pots, sow two seeds in each cell/pot. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest one in each cell/pot.

Transplant out to the garden when frost risk has passed. Alternatively, Malope can be sown directly in place when the risk of frost has passed. 

If sowing directly outside, thin out the seedlings once they become established, and leave a distance of 35cm between each plant.

Alternatively, plant the seeds in Autumn directly into your flower bed for an early flower display the following year.
