Colorful, decorative and useful in flowerbeds as well as pots and balcony boxes. The mixture contains many shades of yellow, orange, red and pink.
Thrives in humus-rich, well-fertilized soil. Does not tolerate standing water. Remove wilted flowers to extend flowering time.
Pre-cultivation (recommended): April-May. The seeds are only covered with a thin layer of seed soil or vermiculite - not too much, as the seeds need light to germinate. Placed in a bright and cool place at approx 15-18C. Excessive heat will hinder germination. Ventilate the mini-greenhouse daily. Keep the soil moist after sowing until germination has started. Germination time is 14-20 days. Replant to 1 plant/pot. Pinch off the growing tops to encourage bushier plants. Plant out when the risk of frost is over.
Direct sowing: Apr-May. Can be sown directly on growing sites in favorable locations in May. The seedbed is watered before sowing and the seeds are covered with soil 0.5 cm. Pre-cultivation is recommended for more reliable cultivation results.
