Specifications
Produces large, dense crested blooms in a range of colors on strong, well-branched, and easy-to-grow plants. It has good heat tolerance and continues flowering well in warm conditions. Plants typically reach 30–45 cm in height with a spread of around 25–30 cm, making them suitable for home gardens and containers.
Planting Instructions
Indoor seed starting is recommended from early September to produce strong plants and achieve an earlier flowering season. Sow seeds 0.3–0.5 cm deep and cover very lightly with soil, as light is not required for germination. The ideal germination temperature is 22–26°C, with germination occurring in approximately 7–14 days. Transplant seedlings after several true leaves have developed. Grow in full sun, in fertile, well-drained soil. Space plants 25–30 cm apart and keep the soil evenly moist without waterlogging.
Care
Water regularly while avoiding overwatering, and apply a balanced or organic fertilizer every 3–4 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering. Removing faded blooms helps maintain a neat appearance and encourages continuous flowering. Once established, this variety shows excellent heat tolerance.
