These towering stately stems of gorgeous, brightly coloured, velvety double blooms make an ideal decorative backdrop along sunny walls and fences.
Sow into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down, water gently and keep moist through germination period. Transplant when large enough to handle.
Choose a Sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before planting and fertilise regularly with Yates Thrive Soluble Plant Food. Protect from snails and slugs.
Water regularly at base of plant to avoid fungal diseases. In exposed positions, if staking is likely to be required, this is best done when plants are young to avoid damaging root system.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
