With double frilly flowers, these stunning deep red flowers that change to rustic orange will look fantastic in beds, borders and containers. Flowering from June through to October you will get a long lasting, colourful display. Sow seed on the surface of good free draining, seed sowing compost.
Cover seeds with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite or seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag and place at 20-30C (68-86F) until after germination which takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 15-20cm (6-8in) apart. Different growing conditions might vary results.
Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
