🌿 Cultivation & care advice
- Sowing time: Pre-cultivate indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost.
- Germination: 3–7 days at 22–25°C.
- Planting out: When the risk of frost is over. Harden the plants for a few days before planting out.
- Distance: 25–30 cm between plants for good air circulation.
- Location: Sunny and warm, in well-drained soil.
- Care: Remove faded flowers for longer flowering. Pick regularly – the more you cut, the more flowers you will get.
- Tip: Avoid overhead watering during wet periods – keep the soil slightly moist but not wet. Pick off any leaves that start to rot. Increase air circulation by removing the leaves at the bottom, when the plant has reached its maximum height.
