I planted quite a few of these but it turns out, I should have not dumped them outside already. Difficult to know why I was not careful enough when it came to reading the instructions. What will happen now?
2011-07-13: Still alive, but not really kicking. Gave them some "flower power" yesterday. Let us see if it gives it a boost. On the other side, maybe I should not expect flowers this year....
Producer's description
Originally from South Africa. It is a perennial flower that normally already blooms during the first year. It is light lilac, with flowers of a size of 8cm . The leaves are long, zigzaged and somewhat spiny, downy leaves.
It can be grown in most soils. Here is also a picture I downloaded.
Producer's instructions
Should be cultivated inside February-March or they can be sown outside May-September. It is recommended to cover the seeds with a thin layer perlite. They can be planted outside in Automn or in Spring.
Perennial
