Description
Shimmering white and salmon jewel like blossoms yet dwarf and very early flowering.

Height 30-38cm (12-15in).
Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors at least 6-8 weeks before last frost |
|---|
Sow on the surface of a good free draining seed sowing mix.
Make sure the sowing mix is moist but not wet and seal in a plastic bag until after germination which usually takes 2-3 weeks at 18-25C (65-75F).
Do not exclude light which is beneficial to germination.
Growing Instructions
Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow on in cooler conditions.
Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in a sunny spot in ordinary garden soil.
