A very showy, easy to raise annual with bold scarlet and gold 5-8cm (2-3in) flowers which almost smother the attractive foliage. Invaluable in beds and borders where bold colour is required.
Sow in spring or early summer in a sunny, open site after all danger of frost has gone. Sow the seed 6mm (¼in) deep.
They prefer a mild moist climate and light well drained soil but will thrive on most garden soils.
