GODETIA GRACE MIXED

A bright, silky mix producing clusters of 1 ½ -3” cup shaped blooms in lavender, rose-pink, magenta, salmon, shell pink and white on sturdy, upright stems. The upward facing flowers give a cheerful, almost tropical lift to arrangements, earning this satin petalled annual its traditional names ‘farewell to spring’. Compact and reliable, it performs beautifully in UK gardens, offering excellent stems for cutting and a long season of colour. 18-24”. HA.

Sow outdoors, directly into flowering position, between March and May or September and October. Sow 0.5cm (¼") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8") apart. For a longer lasting display, make a later second sowing. Water well until plants are established. Sow in curves, rather than straight lines, for a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings. Flowers: June-September.
