A compact, trailing plant with a profusion of small, vibrant orange flowers that bloom successively from late spring to the first frosts. Its petite size and branching habit makes it a popular choice for hanging baskets and window boxes. Technically a tender evergreen perennial, 'Cabaret Early Orange' is typically grown as an annual.
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.
