Growing Guide

Grow plug plants in warm, frost-free conditions to establish before planting outside.
Acclimatise young plants gradually after the threat of frost has passed.
Plant outdoors in full sun and well-drained soil.
Feed every 2 weeks with an all-purpose fertiliser during the growing season.
Water regularly, especially during dry periods and for container-grown plants.
Keep displays at their best by removing faded flowers (deadheading).

Design Tips

Mix with upright perennials or grasses to add height and texture.
Use as vibrant fillers for gaps in borders or layer in pots and baskets for cascading effects.
Companions include Antirrhinums, Salvia, and Marigolds, which thrive in similar sunny, well-drained settings.

Feed and water regularly, deadhead throughout the season, and remove spent plants once flowering ends for best results.
