After the success of Foxglove Candy Mountain, flower breeders have developed this beautiful and striking mixture with the same unique upward facing flowers. Sturdy stems with masses of blooms create a truly eye-catching display in borders and will attract bees to its easy-to-enter flowers.

Sowing Instructions

Sow January to May. Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost and place at a temperature of 18-29C (65-85F). Lightly cover the seed with vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-30 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. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 45-60cm (18-24in) apart.
