This lovely mixture in blue, white, pink and violet makes an interesting change from the more common blue varieties. Grow them for edging, bedding or in window boxes and tubs. Highly recommended. These are also good as specimen items in hanging baskets, although for a trailing variety we would recommend the white-eyed, bright-blue variety 'Sapphire Trailing'.
When to plant: Late Summer to early Winter How to grow: Sow thinly in trays or pots of seed compost. Press the small seeds into the surface. Keep moist and warm - 15-20C (60-68F). Germination will take 7-14 days. Thin (prick out) the seedlings when they have developed 2-4 leaves, spacing 1in (2.5cm) apart. Harden off and plant out at the end of October, spacing 4-6in (10-15cm) apart. Flowers: Spring and early Summer
Warnings: Harmful if eaten.
