Best grown as a magnificent half-hardy annual, ‘Enchanted Ruby Crush’ is a black-eyed Susan with multiple layers of long-lasting peach, pink and red flushed petals with a boss of chocolate brown and yellow stamens. Perfect for pots, containers or massed together where they will also attract a wide range of pollinating insects, these eye-catching tender perennials are a colourful addition to a wildlife garden. - Garden care: Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed when they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feed with a high potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer. Feed weekly with seaweed extract during the growing season. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.
