Flowering

Flowering
  • Feathery plumes of purple-pink flowers
  • Excellent for cutting
  • Originally from Australia, a real head-turner in sunny garden borders and cut flower arrangements

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, lightly covering with a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 22-25°C and do not exclude light.

Growing On

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant into 8-10cm pots of potting compost. Hardening Off /

Planting Out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out in full sun when the danger of frost has passed. Allow 30cm between plants. Do not allow to dry out, but take care not to over-water. Feed plants regularly with a liquid fertiliser.

Advice

Also suitable for planting in containers. Ptilotus thrives in sun and hot weather. This variety also makes an excellent cut flower, on its own or in mixed bouquets. 0 0

How to grow

Sow seeds on to the surface of pre-watered seed compost, but don't cover them. Keep warm, around 20°C and keep moist, but not wet. Allow 1-2 weeks for germination.
