Rich colours and tantalising fragrance. That is why this mixture excels. Plant them everywhere in the garden for the apres-winter colour and fragrance that says 'summer is not far behind'. Flowers late spring/early summer. Height 46cm(18in).

Sow in late spring/early summer outdoors in a well prepared seed bed. Sow the seeds very thinly 6mm (¼in) in drills 30cm (12in) apart, keep the soil damp until germination takes place and thin out the seedlings 15cm (6in) apart when large enough to handle.

Transplant 30cm (12in) apart into flowering site in the autumn for flowering the following year.

They will grow in most soils and grow equally well in full sun or part shade.

The petals add zest to ice cream, sorbets, salads, fruit salad, dessert sauces, seafood stir frys.
