Care: The pre-cultivation takes place in a warm place (greenhouse/windowsill), sown 2 - 3 cm deep (dark germinators) in pots about 2 - 3 seeds per pot. From mid-May (frost-free) the plants can be moved to the open field, gradually acclimating to the outdoor temperatures (harden off). From mid-May direct sowing can take place in the open field, directly on site. Keep temperatures and moisture constant. Use sowing soil! Plant spacing 30x30 cm.

Usage: The flower is suitable for borders, borders, and especially for pots of all sizes.
