D. sinensis ( Chinese or Indian Pink) ranks foremost in bedding plants from seed. Raised early in spring 
under glass, potted on and planted out, it is in bloom in June, and will continue covered with flowers till late 
in autumn. Seed may also be sown from March to May out of doors, w/tete intended to bloom, for a summer and 
late autumn display. If seed is sown in autumn, the plants stand the winter, and in summer each plant is a 
compact bush. The flowers range in colour from the purest white to the deepest crimson.
