These flowers are perfect for borders or equally suited to pots, as they thrive in a sunny position. An essential product to brighten up your garden.

Sow: February to April
Flowering: June to September

Sowing
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover with a little more compost. Place in gentle warmth at 10–15 °C and keep moist at all times.

Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, shading from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5 cm apart into trays of potting compost.

Hardening Off / Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outdoor conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out when the danger of frost has passed. Allow 25 cm between plants.

Aftercare
Water regularly, especially during warm weather. Feed fortnightly when flowering and remove dead flowers to prolong the display.

Advice
Perfect for pots or borders, this variety produces larger blooms with a fresh and zesty colour — a cheerful addition to any sunny spot in the garden.
