How
Sow into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down, water gently and keep moist through germination period. Transplant when large enough to handle.
Care
Choose a Sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before planting and fertilise regularly with Yates Thrive Roses & Flowers Liquid Plant Food. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
HintWater regularly at base of plant to avoid fungal diseases. Protect against rust, particularly in humid Summer regions. In exposed positions, if staking is likely to be required, this is best done when plants are young to avoid damaging root system.
