A very early and free flowering variety bearing deep indigo-blue flowers to provide masses of colour in the garden in spring.

Sow in late spring to early summer outdoors in a well prepared seed bed. Sow the seeds thinly 3mm (1/8in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart. Keep the soil damp until germination takes place and thin out the seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart.

Transplant 23cm (9in) apart into their flowering site in the autumn for flowering the following spring. They will grow in most sites and soils and are happy in sun or part shade.
