Planting and Care

• Regular dead-heading will encourage the growth of new flowers

• Adding mulch**, manure or other forms of organic fertiliser to the soil before planting can also help to promote strong, healthy flowers

• Position in full sun

• If the temperature drops you can cover them with fleece or newspaper, or bring pots indoors.

• On very hot days they will need to have afternoon shade - so have a think before you plant. Pots are ideal so you can move them if they struggle.

• Well drained, moderately fertile soil

• Take cuttings to ensure against winter losses, however even if top growth is damaged by the frost, the plants often re-grow from the base in spring.
