An outstanding variety, which often flowers in the first year from sowing. Mid-height plants produce masses of fiery red blooms surrounded by a ring of rich flame yellow. Can be used as annual bedding, or year after year as a perennial. Excellent for beds and borders; flowers in first year from seed.
Sowing Instructions. Sow February to April. Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
Growing Instructions. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on in cooler conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
Aftercare Instructions. Prefers a well drained soil in full sun or semi shade.
