Wow! A stunning blend of flowers, in shades of yellow, rose, bronze and cream, with an attractive, contrasting stripe on every bloom. Easy to grow and flowering all summer long, they are sure to bring your beds, borders and containers to life.

Sow in late winter/early spring (February to April) in pots or trays of moist seed compost and lightly cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite to a maximum depth of 3mm (1/8in). Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag until germination occurs. Put in a warm place at a constant temperature of 18-25C (65-77F). 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 (3 inch) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9 to 12 inch) apart or plant into baskets and containers of good multi-purpose compost.

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