Sowing Instructions:
Sow Callistephus Classic Salmon Rose seeds indoors in early spring, 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Fill seed trays or pots with well-draining, seed compost and lightly press the seeds into the surface, as they require light to germinate. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of 18-20°C for optimal germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days. Once seedlings are large enough, harden them off and transplant them outdoors after the last frost. Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Space the plants about 30 cm apart to allow for their full growth.

This hardy annual grows to a height of 45-60 cm and blooms prolifically from mid to late summer. Callistephus Classic Salmon Rose thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil. It is relatively easy to grow and requires minimal care, making it a great choice for beginner gardeners. Whether planted in borders, containers, or as part of a cutting garden, Kew Flower House Callistephus Classic Salmon Rose will provide a soft, graceful presence and fill your garden with beautiful, long-lasting blooms that can be enjoyed both in the garden and in cut flower arrangements.
