Dicke Dolden mit festen Blumen, die einen Blütenteppich bilden. Kompakte Polster, bei denen die Blätter fast völlig von den gefüllten Blüten in vielen Farben bedeckt sind.

Sow March to April. Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Do not cover seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light at any stage, as this helps germination.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on in cooler, well lit conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm(12in) apart.
