This hardy annual has deeply lobed grey green leaves as contrast.Easy to growIdeal in sunny bordersSow Outdoors: Mar to May, Aug to OctFlowering: Jun to AugSowing OutdoorsRake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly in pre-watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil. Sowings made in semi-circular lines create a natural ‘drift’ effect. Keep moist until seedlings appear and water as required in dry spells.ThinningWhen large enough to handle, thin seedlings to allow their development and to prevent overcrowding.AdviceLate summer and autumn sown seedlings may benefit from cloche or fleece protection when hard frosts approach. Such plants generally bloom earlier the following summer than spring sown plants. Seed heads are attractive when dried.
