Plant height: It typically reaches 30-60 cm, offering a delicate appearance but with a notable visual impact due to its lightness.
Uses: Ideal for borders, rock gardens, flower beds, pots, and containers. Also perfect as a cut flower for elegant arrangements and to attract beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to the biodiversity of your green space.
Tasting Notes: Its distinctive five-petaled flowers, a deep, velvety scarlet red, create an exceptional color contrast. Its graceful habit allows the flowers to dance gently in the wind, adding movement and vitality to the garden.
Hardiness and Origin: An exceptionally hardy and adaptable plant, native to the Mediterranean and North African regions. It adapts well to various temperate climates and tolerates drought well once established.
Sowing period: We recommend direct sowing in open ground in spring, after the last risk of frost (March-May), or in a seedbed for early flowering.
Harvest Period: Flowering continues throughout the summer, from June to September, offering a continuous display of color and beauty.
Optimal conditions for germination: Maintain a constant temperature between 15°C and 20°C. Light is not strictly necessary for germination, but a light layer of soil on top of the seeds is sufficient.
Soil type: Prefers well-drained, light, and even moderately poor soils. It tolerates a variety of soil types, as long as it isn't waterlogged. The ideal pH is neutral or slightly alkaline.
Recommended exposure: It thrives in full sun, where its flowers are most abundant and brilliant. A sunny location also favors the plant's robustness.
Germination times: Seeds generally germinate within 7-14 days of sowing, demonstrating their high germinability.
Pot or ground cultivation: Extremely versatile, it adapts beautifully both to container cultivation on balconies and terraces and to large flowerbeds in the open ground, enriching any space with its presence.
