25 Seeds per pack.

Pretty, adaptable, easy to grow, small annual, sometimes perennial shrub with fine, narrow leaves.

Blue, Purple, White with a central yellow disc, non-papery, about 2.5 cm in diameter. Appearing in Spring to Summer.

Soil:

Sow in well drained, sandy and clay soils.  Likes a good mix of washed river sand and well-rotted compost.  Will grow in mildly saline, mildly acidic, neutral and slightly alkaline soils.  Soil should be free of weeds, with weed control taking place during the month prior to planting.

Growing:

Sow outdoors after danger of frost has passed.  For early bloom, sow seeds indoors at 21C, 6 weeks before planting out and frosts have ended.  In gardens or rockeries, sow 25 - 30cm apart.  Mix 1 packet of seeds with half-bucket of sand/compost mix for 2-3 square metres of garden.  Vary area and planting density if you wish.
