Flowers: June to frost

Height: 18 inches

Description: Bushy plants are covered in dazzling blooms in a wide range of colours which contrast superbly with the bronze foliage.

Sowing Instructions: Sow on to the surface of a moist free draining seed sowing compost in a 576 plug tray or similar size unit. Do not cover the seed and propagate at 18 to 20c. Germination should take place in 7 to 10 days. Maintain a temperature of 15c after germination.

Growing Instructions: When the seedlings are established cool them down slightly to 10 c and transfer on to a 6 Pack or 9cm pot for final sale. January sowings should result in saleable plants late April. Later sowings can be made in Late March-April for later pot bedding sales in June. These can be sown in the same way but transfer 3 plugs to a 1 litre pot for a compact flowering plant that completely fills the pot.
