This plant produces 3-5" clusters of beautiful flowers that are excellent for cutting in early
to mid-summer. The picture speaks for itself. 

Comes with planting instruction, but refer back
to listing for the following details:  Pre-chill seeds for 2 weeks before planting. 

Some seeds have hard seed coats which prevent moisture being absorbed by the seed. All that
is needed is for the outer surface to be scratched or abraided to allow water to pass through.
This can be achieved by chipping the seed with a sharp knife at a part furthest away from the
'eye', by rubbing lightly with sandpaper or with very small seed pricking carefully once with a needle etc.
