Description

The collection consists of 20 seeds of each of these four varieties. Height 6 ft (180 cm), spread 8 in (20cm).

Sowing time:
Indoors: January - March or September - OctoberOutdoors: March - April

Special Note: Do not chip the seeds nor soak them in water before sowing. Sept/Oct sowings produce the most vigorous and earliest flowering plants. Seedlings are best over-wintered in a cold frame or under cloches.

Sowing Indoors:
Almost fill 12cm (5in) pots with moist seed compost. Sow five seeds, evenly spaced, per pot and lightly cover with a little more compost. Water well after sowing, but not again until seedlings have emerged. Place in warmth 10-15C (50-60F).

Growing on:
Grow on in unheated condition, ideally in a cold frame. Pinch out the growing tips of plants produced from Jan-March sowings. Plant out 20cm (8in) apart from March onwards.

Sowing Outdoors:
Sow seeds in pre-watered soil 2cm (1in) deep, 10cm (4 in) apart. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge and water as required in dry spells.

Aftercare:
Support young plants with canes, netting or trellis to about 180cm (6ft). Pick the blooms regularly to ensure a continuous supply. Flowers May-August.
