How to Grow:

Sow seeds indoors in mid-February on the substrate without covering them, as light helps germination. Maintain a temperature of 21C and wait about 14 days for germination. Once the seedlings have developed, place them under lights, then harden them off before transplanting them to a sunny or partially shaded spot in the garden. Seeds can also be sown directly in May or June for flowering the following year. Water regularly and feed monthly for optimum performance.

A delightful choice for lovers of formal gardens or rockeries, this variety is easy to grow and resistant to deer and rabbits.
