Description: Compact plants with attractive white flowers will flower in a 1 litre pot.
Sowing Instructions: Sow on to the surface of a moist seed sowing compost in a 150-200 cell plug tray or similar size unit. Do not cover the seed and propagate at 18 to 20 c. Germination should take place after approximately 7 days. After germination grow the seedlings on at 15 c until they are established.
Growing Instructions: When the seedlings are established cool them down slightly to 10-12 c and transfer on to a 6 Pack or 9cm pot for final sale. January sowings should result in saleable plants late April. Later sowings can be made in Late March-April for later pot bedding sales in June. These can be sown in the same way but transfer 1 plugs to a 1 litre pot or 3 plugs for a 2-3 litre pot for a compact flowering plant that completely fills the pot.

Growing Instructions: Grow on the January sowings at 15 c until the seedlings are established and cover the tray at which stage the temperature can be reduced to 10c. Pot on into a 1 litre pot or put 3 plugs in a 3 litre pot for sales in April May.

Description: Tall spikes of mauve pink flowers veined in dark purple.
Sowing Instructions: Sow on to a moist seed sowing compost in 150 cell plug tray or slightly smaller unit. Cover the seed with 3 to 5mm of vermiculite and propagate at 18 to 20c. Germination should start to take place after approximately 7days at this stage the temperature can be lowered to 15c.
Growing Instructions: Sowings made in November-December should kept at 15c until they are established which should take about 2 to 3 weeks then reduce the temperature to 10 to help avoid stretching of the seedlings. The plugs should be ready to pot at the end of early March and can be potted either into a 1 litre pot or 3 plugs in a 3 litre pot for sales at the end of April-early May and should flower in July. Sowings made in May to July will need to be grown on as cool as possible and potted in the same way as above and over wintered in a well ventilated unheated glasshouse, tunnel or cold frame for sale from March onwards and should flower from June onwards.
