Uses
<p>Grown purely as an ornamental for bedding, edging, borders and container displays. The long-lasting clusters also work as small cut flowers and draw <strong>butterflies and bees</strong> to the garden.</p>
Growing tips
<p>Surface-sow the tiny seeds and press lightly without covering, as they need light to germinate. Keep at 20-25°C; germination takes <strong>7-14 days</strong>. Transplant when seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, spacing dwarf types 15-20 cm apart. Pinch tips early to encourage bushiness, and deadhead spent blooms. Plants flower in roughly <strong>60-70 days</strong> from sowing and continue for months.</p>
