☀️ Growing Conditions

🌾 Sowing Instructions
Sow from February to June or September to October. Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed compost and cover lightly with vermiculite. Maintain temperatures between 15 and 20°C. Germination normally occurs within 14 to 21 days. Harden seedlings before planting outdoors with approximately 30 cm spacing.
🌿 Care and Maintenance
Water regularly during establishment. Feeding is rarely necessary unless soil fertility is poor. Remove spent flower stems after blooming to prolong plant vigor. Cut foliage back during late autumn to encourage healthy fresh growth the following season. Divide mature clumps during early spring if required.
⚠️ Important Notes
Plants naturally hybridize and self seed freely, often producing unique flower colors. Contact with plant sap may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Mature plants gradually lose vigor after four to five years and are best divided or replaced.
