🌸 Flowering: June - October 📏 Height: to 90cm 🌿Annual
SOW: in situ in May/June or earlier in spring in trays of seed compost. Barely cover with compost or vermiculite and keep gently warm. Prick out when they reach the two-leaf stage and grow on.
GROW: harden off and plant out at from the end of May onwards. For clumps space 10-20cm apart. For bushier plants, pinch out growing tips when plants reach 15-20cm tall. They like to be in a sunny position and may need staking.
ENJOY: from summer to the first frosts, just keep cutting for new flowers. Why not combine the snow-white petals with another variety such as Candystripe or Velouette. These nectar & pollen rich flowers are loved by bees and butterflies.
