Uses
<p>Grown as an <strong>ornamental winter bedding and pot plant</strong>, it brightens shaded balconies, windowsills, indoor table displays and the edges of cool-season flower beds. A favourite for adding colour where the sun is too weak for most flowers.</p>
Growing tips
<p>Surface sow the fine seeds and barely cover, pressing gently as they need light to germinate; keep cool at 16-20°C. Germination takes 14-21 days and can be uneven, so be patient. Transplant seedlings to pots or beds when they have 3-4 true leaves, spacing 15-20 cm apart. Keep them shaded and cool. Plants begin flowering about 90-120 days after sowing, giving weeks of colour through winter.</p>
