Half-hardy Annual. Grown for their charming flowers and excellent drying qualities. Soil should be of good quality and well-drained. Full sun is essential for good growth and best flowering. This annual blends well with most other flowering bedding plants and is a good filler for the border where spring perennials have faded. When sowing seeds, try to soak them in water for a few days before planting. This will aid in speedier germination. 'Strawberry Fields' is the cultivar pictured.
