Description

A striking variety from T&M breeding. Classified as a perennial but from an early sowing it acts like an annual! Prolific, early flowering, fully double scarlet flowers up to 50% larger than other varieties, over a long period. Fantastic in the border and cottage garden, and a dazzling cut flower. Fleuroselect Quality Award.

Sowing Instructions

Sow from February to July in good seed compost, just covering the seed with compost or Sow-lite (Vermiculite). Germination takes 30-90 days at 18-20C (65-70F). Sealing inside a polythene bag after sowing until they germinate is helpful.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3 in) pots. When well grown gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out 30cm (12in) apart in moist, well drained soil in sun or part shade.
