• Thrive in partial shade but will also perform well in either deeper shade or sun. Prefer a moist but well drained soil and are particularly good on alkaline soils. Being mixed varieties, flowers can appear from late winter into spring. Grow to a height of between 1- 2 feet (30 - 60 cm).
• Sowing: Sow seeds IMMEDIATELY you receive them, WHENEVER THIS MAY BE! They need SEVERAL MONTHS in damp compost, (NOT DRY IN A FRIDGE) before they will germinate as the season naturally warms, usually between January and March in the Northern Hemisphere, regardless of when they are sown. Keep the seed tray in a cold place, and check every few weeks. They are COLD germinators! Never, ever, use any artificial heat as this will prevent them from germinating, & ultimately kill them!
