EXCLUSIVE – These beloved cottage garden flowers are easy to grow, drought tolerant and a real favorite of hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. The free blooming, delicately fluted blossoms seem to float above slender foliage and sway in every breeze. We’ve combined lavender-rose “Purple Queen” and shell-pink “Pink Contessa” for a lavish garden display of shimmering, satiny flowers and long-stemmed, graceful bouquets to cut and enjoy indoors.

BEST TO PLANT DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN
MILD WINTER CLIMATES: Sow seeds either in early spring or in late fall to germinate and form deep roots for a long spring bloom.
COLD WINTER CLIMATES: Sow seed as early in spring as soil can be worked. Space seeds 1 to 2 inches apart in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade in hot areas. Cover 1/4 inch deep, firm soil and keep seed bed moist. Be patient; germination takes 14 to 21 days. After seedlings are well established and 2 or 3 inches tall, thin or transplant 8 to 10 inches apart. Keep plants well watered and weeded for best performance.
TO START EARLY INDOORS
Sow seeds 1 inch apart in seed-starting mix, 4 to 6 weeks before last expected frost. Cover 1/4 inch deep, keep moist and provide a good light source until ready to plant outside when the weather warms up. Thin or transplant seedlings 8 to 10 inches apart when large enough to handle.
GROWING NOTES
SPRING SOWING: plant seed as early as soil can be worked to get sturdy plants that will provide many weeks of graceful bloom.
FALL SOWING: wait until soil has cooled in late fall. Extend the blooming season by cutting faded flowers before seed pods develop.
