A mid-height, easy to grow annual with well branched plants which come into flower earlier than most varieties. The attractive fern-like foliage is crowned with many large blooms of velvet red, rose-pink and pure white. An ideal border filler, or simply use in a large container or as a bedding plant. Flowers summer. Height: 60cm (24in).
Sow 3mm (1/8in) deep in February/March at 21-24C (70-75F) in a good seed compost. Germination takes 5-10 days.
Seed can also be sown outdoors in May where it is to flower once the soil has warmed up.
