A charming mixture of pastel corals, salmons, pinks, yellows and white, many with a delicately contrasting eye. A lovely subject for the border, in all types of containers and as a cut flower. Many colours have a light, sweet fragrance. An annual that prefers a sunny position and well drained soil.
When to plant: Spring through to Summer How to grow: Sow 5mm (0.25in) deep in flowering position. Sow in clumps 15cm (6in) apart, scattering a few seeds in each clump. If preferred, sow in rows. Keep moist. Prepare the soil well. Use garden mulch to keep soil moist and protect shallow roots. Remove dead flowers to promote new buds. Flowers: 10 weeks after sowing
