An easy-to-grow flower with tones of velvety brown. Let your summer bouquet glow in deep chocolate brown shades, which will be an excellent contrast to the lighter summer shades.
Perfect for summer flower beds and borders or in a pot. Also very suitable as a cut flower and provides a fantastic eye-catcher in the bouquet.

Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before planting out and the risk of frost is over.
Simply press the seeds onto the surface of moistened seed soil and sprinkle a thin layer of Vermiculite over them.
