A showy and compact variety with sweetly scented flowers which stay open all day in a brilliant range of colours. Recommended. Flowers summer to autumn. Height 60-90cm (24-36in).

Sow on the surface of a good free draining seed compost from late winter to spring. Make sure the compost is moist but not wet and seal in a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-20 days at 21-24C (70-75F). Do not exclude light which is beneficial to germination.

Transplant when large enough to handle and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out, after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in a sunny spot on light well drained soil.
