Large 10cm (4in) blooms of silver-blue with violet veins, flowering earlier than many other varieties. Superb garden performance, looking great in all types of container and baskets. Flowers summer. Height 23-30cm (9-12in).
Sowing Instructions. Sow from February to April at 21-27C (70-80F) on the surface of a good seed compost and gently firm down. Keep soil moist but not wet. Do not exclude light, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Germination usually takes 10-21 days.
Growing Instructions. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in full sun and well drained soil. For baskets and containers, transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots, grow cool, well ventilated and give plenty of light, but shade from direct sun.
