Semi-trailing stems with blooms shifting to different hues and degrees of brightness as the season progresses from bright to coral pink and some pink-flushed yellow. This evergreen perennial, usually grown as an annual, effortlessly cascades from pots, containers and 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.
