Description
Mr Fothergill’s Sweet Sultan Mix Seeds, Easy to grow and sweetly scented. Plant where the scent can be appreciated and released more by the soft flowers being touched as they are passed.
Sow outdoors where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm apart. Water well until plants are established and keep weed free. Or sow indoors 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 10-15°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 20cm apart, when frosts are over.
• A hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown
• Large, soft ‘powder puff’ blooms with a sweet scent
• Easy to grow for the border and as cut flowers
