An exclusive blend of mixed species, including a complete spectrum of colours, heights and different flower spikes. Colours ranging from yellows, reds, oranges and bronze with some having an unusual hint of green. Ideal for brightening any herbaceous border. Height: 75-120cm (30-48in).

Sowing Time: February to June or September to October. Sow into pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a 1/4in layer of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 7-21 days.

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 45-60cm (18-24in) apart. For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.
