Wonderful anemone-like flowers on uniform, basal branching plants, early flowering with exceptional garden performance all summer. Height: 20-25cm (8-10in).

Sow seed on the surface of good free draining, seed sowing compost. Cover seeds with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite or seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag and place at 20-30C (68-86F) until after germination which takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 15-20cm (6-8in) apart.
