Cultural instructions:
- Mont Rose recommend you pot up into 7cm (2.8") pots of free-draining compost and grow them on in frost-free conditions until large enough to plant outside. Plants are best grown on the dry side rather than being too wet
- Once the plants have a well-established root system, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 7 - 10 days and only plant out when all threat of frost has passed
- Alternatively plant straight into baskets or containers using moist, well-drained compost and grow on in frost-free conditions until all threat of frost has passed
- Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over a 7-10 day period
- Pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage branching and form a bushier plant which will produce more flowers later on. Regular feeding should begin 6-8 weeks after planting into their final position
- Feed with a fertiliser such as Richard Jackson's Flower Power or liquid tomato food
- Remove faded blooms regularly to encourage further blooms throughout the summer months
