Sweetly fragrant scarlet flowers on dwarf sturdy plants. Just right for containers and beds, where space is limited or to underplant tall bulbs. Flowers spring. Height: 35-45cm (15-18in).
Sow outdoors in May to June in a moist, well forked and raked seed bed. Sow the seeds very thinly, 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart. Keep the seed bed damp until germination takes place.
They will grow in most soils in sun or part shade.
