✂️ Care

A vigorous and abundant variety, perfect for sunny gardens and colorful borders. Plant in full sun to partial shade for abundant flowering and vibrant colors.

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

Apply a light mulch at the base to maintain moisture and improve drainage. Once established, this hardy annual requires little maintenance and offers weeks of delicate, colorful flowers, ideal for fresh bouquets.
