The vibrant colours range from white to pink, red, purple and mauve. Perfect for brightening up gardens, planters and flower boxes, flowering continues until late summer, although it may fade slightly in the summer heat.

Plant height: 30 cm
Quantity per pack: Approximately 400 seeds

How to grow:
Godetia prefers to be sown directly, as it does not like transplanting. Sow seeds outdoors in mid-May, then at two-week intervals for continuous blooms. Sow on the surface of the soil and ensure good contact to prevent the seeds from drying out. Seeds germinate in 14 days. Once seedlings are 10 cm, thin them out to 25 cm apart.
Tip: Ideal for cut flowers, add these pretty blooms to your summer bouquets for a touch of natural elegance.
