The delicate lilac-blue daisy-like flowers of ‘Royal Blue’ are produced against fine, softly hairy, dark green leaves. A prolific and pretty half-hardy plant that will enhance the summer sunshine in bedding schemes, rockeries or hanging baskets.
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
