My Mum grew some of these once and as far as I remember they were kept as house plants. Its an annual, minimum temperature 5 degrees C.

thank you for the info, I am not big on house plants so it will be put out with the annuals beginning of june and hope for the best!

I had some a couple of years ago that I grew from seed, and planted them in the garden once all danger of frost was past, and they gave the most wonderful display. I am growing them again this year, but are only at the pricking out stage at the moment.

I have them at the pricking out stage to. Free seeds from some mag. cant remember which one

Put them outside on warm days and back in doors on the night until all dangers of frost have passed. they are a good annual plant.

Well these two are about 12 inches high and about the same wide, a good buy for a few pounds. Thank you for all your comments much appreciated
