Hardy Annual Flowers: Summer Height: 18 inches Position: Sun or Partial Shade Description: Beautifully laced blooms in two complementing hues. This showy annual is very easy to grow, giving guaranteed non-stop colour for beds and borders. Sprinkle some in your garden today for an effortless summer display. Prefers a deep, rich soil in full sun or semi shade. Sowing Instructions: Sow April to May. Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 6mm ( inch) deep, in rows 30cm (12 inches) 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. Growing Instructions: When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 15cm (6 inches) apart. Kale Quote \| Reply \| Report
