Description
These flowers are very handsome and make excellent cut flowers. This is a taller growing mix of larger growing plants which can be grown outside, in most places in the North Island. There is a wide range of vibrant colour in this mix from reds and pinks through pastel shades of coral, apricot and primrose to cream . We show a light pink one in the picture. The flowers are long-lasting . Each flower is 12 cm approx across. The plant grows to approx 60cm, and flowers continuously all summer. It prefers light position and coolish temperatures with temperatures no greater than 20 degrees. It likes well drained soil which does not stay damp, but does not like to become bone dry. In warmer areas of New Zealand it can be grown outside and will come back for you each year.
Sowing advice
Sow at any time of the year indoors. Sow onto seed trays on a well-drained, sandy compost. Sow indoors as soon as you receive them . Surface sow. Press the seeds gently into the soil until only the feather-head (the softest end) of the seed is showing . A sunny window sill or glasshouse is ideal. Ideal temp. 20-25°C. Germination takes 2-3 weeks approx. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on. They like a cool, light , well ventilated spot.
