The large, brilliantly coloured flowers in this mixture will give dazzling displays in borders, tubs and window boxes. A hardy perennial, flowers the same year from an early sowing. Grows well in sun or partial shade.
When to plant: Autumn and early Winter
How to grow: Sow in flowering position, or in December-July in a seed bed. Thin as necessary, and, in the case of Summer sowings, transplant to their flowering positions in Autumn, spacing 6-9in (12-20cm) apart.
For protected sowings, sow in trays of seed compost. Just cover the seed, keep moist and at a temperature of 15-20C (60-68F). Germination will take 10-21 days. Thin (prick out) when seedlings have developed 2-4 leaves. Harden off and plant out in October. Flowers: Spring to early Summer
