Its flowering is spectacular, with funnel-shaped flowers of intense yellow or bright orange, typically blooming in late spring and summer.

Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring (February to May) in a heated seedbed or in a temperature-controlled environment. Optimal conditions for germination: For high germination rates, maintain a constant temperature of 20-25°C and high initial humidity (simulating a greenhouse effect). The substrate must be well-drained and sterile. Indirect but bright light is essential.

During the hottest hours of summer, especially for young seedlings, it is advisable to avoid direct exposure to the strongest rays of the sun.
