Description
This very attractive mixture of The Treasure Flower has delicately cut, silvery-white foliage which makes the plant a pleasure to see, even out of flower.
The bright blooms, opening in the sun, come in a range of colours from creams and yellows, to oranges, reds and mauves, and are borne on short stems, making them excellent for windy sites.
They make refreshingly different plants for bedding and border edging.
Recommended.
Flower summer.
Height 20cm (8in).

|---|
Sow in pots or trays of moist seed sowing mix and lightly cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite or sowing mix to a maximum depth of 3mm (1/8in).
Place in a propagator or seal inside a plastic bag until germination occurs.
Put in a warm place at a constant temperature of 18-25C (65-77F).
Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged.
Germination will usually take 14-30 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings into boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots, and grow on in cooler conditions.
When well grown gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions and plant out in late spring after all risk of frost has passed 30cm (12in) apart in full sun and well drained soil.
