Features and Uses

• Quick and reliable germination: generally 7 to 14 days at a temperature of around 18–22 °C, ensuring an effective start for early blooms.
• Upright habit and abundant flowering: a variable height between 60 and 120 cm depending on the varieties, with numerous flowers on each stem for a lasting spectacular effect.
• Varied and bright colors: a range of shades that easily blends with other annuals and varied foliage, perfect for dynamic flowerbeds or borders.
• Pollinators welcome: these flowers attract bees and butterflies, promoting biodiversity in your garden and the general health of your neighboring plantings.
• Tolerance to heat and light drought: ideal for sunny climates and well-drained soils, less demanding after proper establishment.

Sowing, Cultivation, and Maintenance

• Sowing method: in open ground or in pots, sow superficially and cover lightly with fine soil. Direct sowing in spring is perfectly suitable.
• Spacing and thinning: to promote healthy growth and strong stems, space plants 30 to 45 cm apart. Thin out if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
• Watering and soil: water regularly without allowing water to stagnate; favor light, well-drained soil. Add a layer of mulch to maintain moisture and limit weeds.
• Routine maintenance: remove spent flowers (deadheading) to encourage continuous blooming and prevent stems from etiolating too early.
• Harvesting and vase use: cut flower heads in the middle of the day when flowers are fully open to extend their freshness in bouquets.
