These beautiful butterfly flowers in frosted lavender pink sparkle like fondant creams in the summer sun. The short, stocky and compact plants are long flowering and excellent for beds, borders and containers.

Sowing Instructions

Sow January to March. 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 10-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
