A pretty watercolour palette, with velvety blooms that mellow from a rich cranberry rose, to dusky peach, then pastel apricot. The low mounding habit is perfect for pots, or planting in drifts for an abundant show of medium-large sized flowers in a subtle range of pastel shades.
Position
Full Sun or Part Shade
Sow
Sow into trays of Yates® Black Magic® Seed Raising Mix. Cover well, as seed needs to be in darkness to germinate. Firm down, water gently and keep moist but not wet. Transplant when large enough to handle.
Care
Choose a sunny, well-drained position. Add Yates® Thrive® Natural Blood & Bone before planting. Keep well watered and apply Yates® Thrive® Flower & Fruit Soluble Plant Food for stronger plants. Protect from snails and slugs.
Tips
Remove spent blooms to prolong flowering. Flowers are edible and can be used to add colour to salads.
