Half Hardy Perennial

A summer bedding and container favourite, providing masses of flowers in a lovely range of clear, bright colours. Excellent for partly shady corners where the plants will be happiest and the blooms will bring a blaze of colour.

Plants perform well from early summer right through to the first frosts.
