A beautifully compact plant which becomes smothered in striking pink, star-like blooms with abandon during summer. Early flowering and easy to grow. Dwarf Pink Star is spectacular for beds, borders and rockeries.

Sow March to May. Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 3mm (1/8in) deep, in rows 30cm (12in) apart.

Alternatively, can also be sown September to October and overwintered for planting out the following spring after all risk of frost.

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart.

Will grow in any garden soil in full sun.
