Care
- Excess water must be able to drain away easily and waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. - Regular watering in summer is particularly important. Morning or evening is the best time for this. Watering should also be done slowly and, if possible, not over flowers and leaves. - Many bedding and balcony plants have high to very high nutrient requirements. For this reason, slow-release fertiliser should be mixed into the potting soil when planting. After 4-6 weeks, liquid fertiliser should be added regularly.

Flower
The purple-coloured flowers appear from June to October.

Use
Tubs, cutting, group planting, park, bee pasture, bed edging
