Sun-loving plants that love a hot, dry summer. Tough, they can stand a light frost, an early flowering summer plant with a wide range of colours.
Once tall and straggly with flowers that closed during dull weather, they have been improved and are now compact, free-flowering even in dull weather.
Bright vibrant colours, easy to grow and few pest and disease problems.
They don’t like the rain and the flowers close at dusk.
