How to Grow

Cultivation

Will grow well in moist but well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic soil in full sun. Partial afternoon shade will make flowers last longer. If growing in containers add one application of slow release fertilizer to encourage steadier performance. Overwinter in a greenhouse or in a frost free environment.

Propagation

Propagate by seed and softwood cuttings in spring or late summer

Suggested planting locations and garden types

  • City and courtyard gardens
  • Cottage and informal garden
  • Patio and container plants
  • Hanging Basket
  • Low Maintenance
  • Conservatory and greenhouse
  • Flower borders and beds

Pruning

Pinch out growing tips to produce a bushier plant. Cut back in summer for a second flush of flowering, alternatively trim off spent flowers to promote continuous flowering

Pests

Generally pest-free but may be susceptible to aphids

Diseases

Generally disease-free but may be susceptible to root and foot rot in very wet conditions
