Annual plants, about 60 cm tall, with multi-colored flowers. Petals in inflorescences slightly curled.
It blooms from July to late autumn.
Easy to grow, pollen and nectar rich vibrant flowers. Food source for butterflies and bees.
Good full sun is really all that's required, although some of the newer hybrids will even bloom in partial shade. As for water, they don't need much, since they're from hot desert-like habitats.
Almost any soil will do, but they prefer fast-draining gritty soil, if you have that available.
Approximately 100 seeds in 1g packet.

GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
Sow outdoors from April to May (or after the last frost), where they are to flower.
Sow 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered.
Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days.
Thin them to 30cm apart. Water well until plants are established.
Also can be sown indoors, March-April, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or greenhouse. Keep moist.
Transplant seedlings, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 30cm apart, when frosts are over.
