Attractive, free-flowering, bushy plants with stunning bicoloured blooms in vibrant orange and golden yellow. Will paint your borders and containers with colour all summer.

Sow seed on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed sowing mix. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which usually takes 10-21 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 before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9-12in) apart.

Prefers a sunny position in any garden soil. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooming.
