Cultivation method:

Sow the seeds indoors approximately 11 to 14 weeks before the last frost. Use a light potting mix and maintain a temperature of 20 to 25C (68 to 77F) to ensure good germination. The seeds need light to germinate, so avoid covering them with soil. Once the seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots. After the risk of frost has passed, transplant the plants outdoors to a sunny location. Water regularly, but not excessively, and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to encourage continuous flowering.

With its vibrant shine and exceptional durability, Ptchoa Caliburst Yellow F1 is ideal for brightening up your containers, hanging baskets and flower beds throughout the summer season.
