Charming for beds, borders, rock gardens, etc., and the larger 
the mass the better the effect. The plants grow about 12 inches 
high. Seed may be sown any time during the spring. They bloom 
in about eight weeks from the time of sowing, and in order to keep 
up a succession of bloom two sowings should be made at intervals 
of about two weeks. For best results thin the plants to stand not 
less than six inches apart. They require lime in the soil.
