Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, or direct sow in spring after frost has passed. Barely cover as light aids germination. Transplant once seedlings are strong and soil has warmed. Pinching is optional but can encourage more branching. |
| Growing Tips |
Prefers full sun and free-draining soil. Regular harvesting will encourage continuous bloom. Remove spent blooms to prevent self-seeding if not desired. Harvest when flowers are fully coloured and have opened slightly for best vase life. Excellent vase life and long, elegant stems. |
