One of the most eye-catching varieties in our flower trials. The ultra-double flowers glow with a brilliant orange, edged in burgundy. Ideal for adding height and interest to annual borders, as well as making a stunning cut flower.

Sow March to May. Sow seeds outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 12mm (½in) deep, in rows 30cm (12in) apart.
For spring/summer flowering pot plants: Sow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory in late summer/early autumn. Grow on cool in full light and water sparingly.
When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 20cm (8in) apart.
