Striking mixture of purples, blues and pink veined throats. These new Cape Primrose F1 hybrids have been specially selected for their exotic long-lasting flowers in summer and early autumn. They are excellent subjects for a warm position indoors or for greenhouse or conservatory. When mature, the plants prefer neglect to coddling. Flowers four months from sowing.

Sow in late winter or early spring in heated greenhouse, propagator or warm position indoors using a peat based seed compost. Aim for a soil temperature of 21C (70F). Sow thinly on the surface of moist compost and do not cover the seed. Light improves germination. Cover the container with a sheet of glass or clear plastic until the seeds germinate, then remove the cover and lower temperature to 12-15C (55-60F).

Prick out when large enough to handle into 5cm (2in) pots. Finally pot up into 13-15cm (5-6in) pots.
