Planting instructions
Probably not best suited to the open garden unless the circumstances are just right, though would look well in the front of a gravel bed in the sun or being grown in a raised bed or in a container so that they can be admired more closely. Best grown in pots growing outside in summer sunshine to get darker colours. Good well prepared soil, water in the summer. August / September 6"
