Josie, our Perch Hill head-gardeners favourite plant in our trials last year.
It has small, but very brilliantly coloured flowers all summer and right through to Christmas in a sheltered spot. This makes it a star for any pot or front of border combination.

Reviewed 20th August 2019 by Lucy Just starting to flower well now - growing well in the garden having been transplanted from a seed tray. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Janey Very good germination so actually had too many of them. Habit was a bit untidy so had to pull quite a few out as they went a bit mad. |

Reviewed 3rd September 2018 by Sue My garden has never looked lovelier than it has done this year and that have been due entirely to the plants I've bought from Sarah Raven. All of which have performed amazingly so thank you so much. |
