Description

A fiery mix of such striking colour, yet with the innocent flower faces of Bishop's Children. Mid-height, and blends extremely well into borders. However, be warned that a colour eruption may occur! Spectacular in bedding and containers, and as a cut flower.

Height: 60-75cm (24-30 inches). Planting distance 12-18 inches.

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to April. Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a layer of compost or vermiculite, 6mm (¼in) deep. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light at any stage, as this helps germination.

Aftercare

Prefers a moist, well drained soil in full sun.

Tubers may be lifted and overwintered frost free for use the following year.
