How
Sow direct where they are to grow or into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down, water gently and keep moist through germination period. Transplant or thin out when 5-7cm high.
Care
Choose a open, Sunny position that is well drained. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before planting. Water regularly and apply Yates Thrive Soluble Plant Food for stronger plants. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Remove spent blooms to prolong flowering. Flowers are ideal as an edible garnish, and for adding colour to salads.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
