Dwarf, neat mounds of fine foliage, covered in a profusion of dainty, purple star like flowers, over a very long period. Excellent planted in baskets, containers, rockeries or annual borders.
Sowing Time: February to June or September to October. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Do not cover the seed. Keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months.
