Flockige, wolkenartige Blütendolden in Reinweiß bis tief Purpur mit einer wundervollen Auswahl an Pastelltönen. Nach einigen Jahren produziert jede Pflanze mehr als 30 Blütenstiele gleichzeitig! Eine großartige Schnittblume.

Sow spring to midsummer in a good seed compost just covering the seed with compost. Germination can take from 1-3 months at 15-21C (60-70F). If germination has not started after 8 weeks they can be pre-chilled which often speeds up germination. To do this seal in a polythene bag, place in a refrigerator 3-5C (37-41 F) for 3 weeks then return to warmth 15-21C (60-75F). Inspect regularly and remove if any start to germinate in the fridge.

Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Move to a coldframe or plunge the pots up to their rims in a sheltered site outdoors and plant out in autumn 30cm (12in) apart in a rich moist, well drained soil, sun or part shade.

Seed sown early will often produce flowers the same season.
