✂️ Care

A compact and generous variety, perfect for sunny gardens, delicate borders, and containers. Plant in full sun to partial shade for abundant blooms and vibrant orange petals of warm and natural beauty.

Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the blooming period and encourage the production of new flowers. A light pruning after the first wave of blooms stimulates a spectacular second autumn flowering.

Apply a light mulch around the base to retain moisture and improve drainage. Once established, this hardy annual requires little maintenance and offers weeks of delicate, luminous flowers, ideal for fresh bouquets and floral arrangements.
