Never before has flower power been experienced from a border plant of this kind. A staggering display of apricot spikes of tasselled florets, erupting like flames from the laced, richly fragrant foliage. Very quick growing, excellent in bedding, borders and containers. Bred and selected by T&M for its dwarf, compact habit, and was awarded a Fleuroselect Quality Mark. All this and it also flowers in its first year from seed.

Sow February to April on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 14 - 30 days.

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions tor 10-15 days betore planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.

For best results, provide a rich, light, well-drained soil in full sun.
