How
Take special care as this seed is very fine. Spread thinly and press lightly (as seeds need light to germinate) into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Water with a fine mist spray. Keep trays in a warm place and retain moisture by covering with glass or plastic cling wrap. Transplant when large enough to handle.
Care
Choose a semi shaded position in well drained soil. Plants grown in shady conditions display the most intense colours. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before planting. Water moderately and feed with Yates Yates Thrive Flower & Fruit Soluble Plant Food regularly. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
If growing for potted colour, transplant into a 15-20cm pot filled with a premium potting mix.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
