Very easy to grow, low compact plant that comes into flower quickly from seed. The colours radiate through lilac, silver, pink , maroon, carmine and white and after flowering leave behind exquisite seed heads- just right for everlasting flower arrangements.
Sow in spring outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 3mm (1/8in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart. Germination usually takes approximately 21 days.
Seed can also be sown outdoors in early autumn for overwintering and earlier flowering.
