Proloific flowering in sun only.

2009 is the first year I have had this, and I didn't know anything about it, it was a spontaneous buy from the garden centre. I have enjoyed this so much all summer, it goes on and on floweing and the flowers are beautiful. Like coral red mini roses in shape and the insects love them!
I will definately get another one next year.
PROPAGATION:
Sow seeds in Feb-March in gentle heat. Plant out in late May.
