'Calitastic Bordeaux Star' is an outstanding bedding cultivar that boasts prolific blooms from early spring through autumn. Its striking bicolour flowers, blending lavender and dark purple hues with vibrant yellow stars at the centre, create a captivating visual, long season display. Ideal for beds, borders, containers, and hanging baskets, this tender evergreen perennial, although often grown as an annual, adds a burst of colour to any garden space.
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
