Reviewed by Barry Lillie on 31st May 2019
Great quality, every seed sown germinated: I gave them a start in an electric propagator for 7 days to give the compost some heat. Once through I know it advises not to disturb these once they're growing, but as I sowed some of the seeds into a seed tray I have now transplanted them all and they're thriving. I can't wait for them to flower later in the year.

Germination Instructions
Best sown directly where it is to flower as it does not like to be disturbed. Sow into a clean, weed free, seed bed. Prefers full sun and a well-drained soil. Will not germinate if planted amongst grass. Can be sown indoors in autumn for flowering the following year, must be over wintered in a green house and carefully transplanted in spring, or sow directly in spring for flowering the same summer.
Growing Instructions
Easy to grow.
Cultivation Instructions
Cut and come again variety. Cut flowers regularly to encourage growth and to prolong flowering window. Deadhead if you do not want it to self-seed.
