T&M have blended a mixture of species which are fantastic front of border or rockery plants. Producing many erect spikes, full of tiny flowers that create much impact in a complementary range of colours - orchid pink, royal blue, white, rose and light blue. Flower summer. Height: 30-35cm (12-14in).

Sow mid spring-mid summer in a good seed compost just covering the seed with compost. Seal inside a polythene bag and place in the dark until the first seedlings start to show. Keep compost moist but not saturated. Germination takes around 30 days at 20-25C (70-75F).

When large enough to handle transplant seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots, and grow on in cooler conditions. When well grown gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out 60cm (24in) apart in full sun and well drained soil.
