Product details
How
Sow direct where they are to grow. Scatter seed thinly and rake into surface lightly. Firm down, water gently and keep moist through germination period.
Care
Choose a Sunny, well-drained position. These plants will tolerate sandy or poor soil, but don't like over-moist conditions. Water when soil is dry and feed with Yates Thrive Flower & Fruit Soluble Plant Food just prior to blooms opening. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Keep weeds down and avoid disturbing soil around the roots. Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
