Price for 40 seeds
SOW: in July and August either where they are to flower or in modules for transplanting. We have always opted to transplant as their final position is normally still in use at this time of year! Germination takes around 2 weeks.
GROW: plan where you want splashes of winter colour to be and pop them in! You can plant them quite close in a container, out in the garden aim for 15-20cm apart
ENJOY: we have found them to reliably flower from the autumn into the winter, some plants in a more sheltered position close to the house have flowered through to March.
