- Cultivation
- Best sown direct as they dislike having their roots disturbed. Sow in spring, or in autumn for earlier flowers the following year. Poor, free-draining soil in full sun is best. Sow seed thinly and thin to 30cm.
Care Tips
Great for growing in container pots or borders with poor soil where it will thrive on neglect and freely self seed. Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms.
Flowering Time
June - September
