The plant prefers afternoon shade and is suitable for hanging pots or as a house plant. Over fertilization causes leaf growth at the expense of flower production. The seed germinates in two to three weeks at temperatures of 75 degrees. Do not cover the seed with soil. The plants can be pinched to encourage bushiness.
Browallia needs to be hardened off before planting outside.
