Half-hardy Perennial

Large double flowers, vivid pink tube & sepals and a bright blue corolla
Easy to grow, truly weather resistant and they will produce the most heavenly flowers all summer long until the frost arrives in late autumn.
Transplant plugs immediately into chosen container (pots or hanging baskets) using mlti-purpose compost (add gel in punnet to the compost to assist water retention.).Position them on warm windowsill to grow on. Place outside when all risk of frost has passed.
They will delight as part of a mixed arrangement or as a splendid show of their own.
