Tried & tested by Sarah
Super productive variety
Easy to grow
These are slow to flower, but truly worth the wait
I’d say this is all set to take the cut flower world by storm. We grew this outside in a sheltered spot, but it’s also happy if you have a spot in a greenhouse or polytunnel.

Care Tips
Best suited to growing under glass but trials show us they will bloom outside. Regular feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser will help produce the best blooms. Support may be required to keep plants growing upright.
