Description

A taller semperflorens type that looks impressive in borders or containers. Attractive clusters of pink and white bicolored flowers are set against very large dark green foliage. Specially bred to produce vigorous germinating seedlings followed by robust plants with outstanding garden performance.

Height: 35-40cm (14-16in).

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:3 to 4 months before last frost.

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix in pots or trays. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of around 24-27C (75-80F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 15-60 days.

Growing Instructions

Gradually acclimatize plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 15-20cm (6-8in) apart, or plant into containers.

Aftercare Instructions

For best results, provide a rich, light, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade.
