Gradually transitioning to a purple hue, these leaves add a touch of elegance. Now, let’s talk about the flowers—unlike anything else in your garden.

Sowing & Growing
Commence the process indoors by sowing the seeds at a depth of 5mm into individual pots filled with compost. Ensure thorough watering and position the pots in a warm location, ideally on a windowsill with temperatures ranging from 15-20°C. Keep the soil consistently moist. Expect germination to occur within 14-28 days. Once germinated, transfer the seedlings to a cooler environment. Acclimate them before planting outdoors after the risk of frost has subsided.
For optimal growth, this variety thrives in soil enriched with ample organic matter. Maintain regular watering until the plants are fully established.
As a cut-and-come-again variety, regularly trim the flowers to stimulate growth and extend the flowering period. Deadhead if you wish to prevent self-seeding.
