I sowed batches of four seeds of 'Apricot Lemonade' in 7cm pots on the windowsill in April, moved them into a sheltered spot outside when they came through and then planted out the potfuls, without breaking them up, at the end of May. I'm extremely disappointed because while the seeds had a fabulous germination rate- now they've bloomed the colour is 'Gloria' and not Apricot Lemonade as stated. Individual blooms don’t last long in the vase, about 4-6 days, but each stem is loaded with multiple blossoms that open over a period of a week.Details: Type Half-Hardy Annual Position Cutting Garden Soil Broad Tolerance Flowers July - October Height 90cm (36in) Common name Mexican Aster Moisture Moist but Well-drained Aspect Full Sun Spread 45cm (18in) Cultivation Best sown under cover in April but can be direct sown in May.
