Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds directly outdoors 0.5cm deep into finely prepared, well-drained soil in a position that receives full sun.
• Thin the emerging young seedlings to a final outdoor spacing of 15cm apart to allow the plants plenty of room to develop their upright form.
• Make frequent, successive sowings throughout the spring to ensure continuous, overlapping flushes of red flowers all summer long.
