The unusual true blue, star-like flowers, sit on top of mounded feathery foliage. Lightly scented they make an ideal subject for all types of containers and as a bedding plant item. A half hardy annual, flowering the same year. Prefers a well-drained soil and sunny position.
When to plant: Spring
How to grow: Sow in the flowering position, thinning seedlings if necessary. Remove dead heads to prolong the flowering season. Sow in pots or trays of seed compost just covering the seeds. Maintain gentle warmth and keep the compost moist. Thin (prick out) to other pots or trays when seedlings are large enough to handle. Harden off before planting out in October-December, allowing 8in (20cm) between plants. Flowers: Summer and Autumn
