Seed sown early will often flower the same season. Height: 60-75cm ( 24-30in).

Sowing Instructions
Sow from February to June 6mm (¼in) deep in a good seed compost. Make sure the compost is moist but not wet and seal inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 21-40 days at 18-24C (65-75F). To speed this up place in a fridge, after sealing in the polythene bag, and leave at 3-5C (35-41 F) 2-3 weeks, then place in warmth. Inspect regularly while in the fridge and remove immediately if they start to germinate.

Growing Instructions

Caution
Harmful if eaten

The description sounds complicated - but I find them very easy to plant. Just sprinkle seeds in ground in Fall/Spring or Summer - cover lightly - and that is it! OR you can do as described on original seed packet as listed above. I have these wonderful double pleated flowers all around my property and they are beautiful!
