Description

Wow! This unique bicolour flower has three orange lower petals and two icy white upper petals with an orange picotee edge and intense orange reverse. Bushy free-flowering plants create long flowering, eye-catching displays in borders or containers.

Height: 30-35cm (12-14in).

Sowing Instructions

Sow mid January to mid March. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays, and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 3-21 days.

Aftercare

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