 bedding plants do well in full sunlight, also in positions partially 

 or wholly in shade. They are of sturdy growth, growing about

 winter flowering they are superb, remaining a sheet of bloom 

 throughout the entire year. Easily raised from seed, which should 

 be started either indoors or in a hotbed. per pkt.
