Mr Fothergills Gazania Sunshine Mixed 25 Seeds

Gazania – Sunshine Mixed

This mixture produces large, sparkling blooms which open with the sun. This half hardy perennial should be treated as an annual, and reaches the height of 30cm.

Sow indoors, from February to April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow, 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20C is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 12-21 days. Transplant them, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, from May to June, 20cm apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.
