Description

Compact, mounded plants with eruptions of beautiful, rich orange blooms, the striking colour is possibly the best orange available in Violas. Penny Sunrise also has improved hardiness and heat tolerance.

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to March or September to October at 15-20C (60-68P) on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a fine sprinkling of vermiculite, just covering the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination which takes 10-21 days. Take care not to provide too high a temperature, as this can prevent germination.

Aftercare

Overwinter September sowings in a coldframe then plant out the following spring.
