Originally from the prairies of North America, they are best grown as a stunning seasonal annual where they will thrive in pots on your patio to create a striking late summer display.

Grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots for the patio.
Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
