Mr Fothergills Sweet Sultan 100 Seeds

Sweet Sultan

This variety boasts large, soft 'powder puff' blooms with a sweet scent. It is easy to grow for the border and as cut flowers, reaching the height of 60cm.

Sow outdoors, from April to May, where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 25cm apart. Water well until plants are established and keep weed free. Or sow indoors, from March to May, 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 10-15°C is ideal. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings, 25cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, from May to June, 25cm apart, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.
