A ready-mixed collection that includes shades of pink, red, apricot, lilac and white. Plant 'Showstopper Mixed' en-masse in the border or cram them into your patio pots for a colourful summer-long display. They are sturdy and undemanding plants that will usually bloom from early summer, right up until the first frosts - particularly if they are deadheaded regularly.
Garden care:
Pot up and grow on in the greenhouse until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted out. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed regularly with a high-potash fertiliser to promote flowering. Removing the spent flowers as they fade will encourage even more to form.
