Description

Flowers are almost foxglove-like in appearance,though on a small scale, in shades of pink- red with white throats. A real magnet for pollinators, especially bumblebees, with a long flowering period from May right through to September. A popular choice for traditional cottage gardens, as well as more informal beds and borders. Prefers full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil.

Sowing Advice

For best results, sow immediately onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. They can be sown at any time, and germination can sometimes be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. We sow most seeds in an unheated greenhouse and wait for natural germination, as many seeds have built-in dormancy mechanisms, often waiting for natural spring germination, hence giving them a full season of growth.
