Embrace vivid tropical hues with 'Mango Twist,' boasting upright stems adorned with a profusion of traditional flowers in a stunning modern fusion of scarlet red and canary yellow. This captivating cultivar bears numerous side branches, and stands tall in mixed borders, delivering contrasting bicoloured lips complemented by a striking white throat, adding a vibrant touch to bedding displays and vase arrangements.
For best results, pot up and grow on in a heated greenhouse or sunny windowsill until risk of frost has passed. Plant out and water your bedding plants early in the morning with a weak solution of a potash-rich fertiliser, such as Tomorite. Deadhead the flowers on a regular basis as this will encourage new growth and stop the plants putting all their energy into seed production.
