Description

Extremely vigorous plants with very large flowers make this one of the best seed-raised Busy Lizzies for hanging baskets or large containers. Each robust bushy plant becomes clothed in attractive soft peach blooms blushed in deepest orange creating very eye-catching displays.

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

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to March. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays and cover with a fine sprinkling of 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 10-21 days.

Aftercare

For best results, provide a moist, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade.
