Description

Exquisite flowers for the spring garden and a superb source of cut flowers. One of the chief favourites among garden flowers, with long stems and bright saucer-like flowers. To make them last a really long time cut while in bud and seal stems off with boiling water or flame.

Sowing Instructions

Sow in late spring/early summer outdoors in a well prepared seed bed. Sow the seeds very thinly 6mm (¼ inch) in drills 25cm (10 inches) apart, keep the soil damp until germination takes place and thin out the seedlings if crowded when large enough to handle.

Aftercare

They prefer full sun and well drained soil but will grow well in most soils.
