Emerging with an apricot/burgundy flush, the spicily scented flowers of 'Sugar Rush Purple Bicolour' turn lilac/purple as they mature. As F1 hybrids, these plants are tough and easy to grow - and they'll reliably put on a terrific display over a long period, from spring to early summer. Team them with tulips of daffodils and enjoy months of spring colour. - Garden care: Plant this 9cm pot straight out into well-prepared borders or into pots filled with a good quality potting mix. Apply a generous layer of mulch and provide overnight cloche or fleece protection where frosts are very severe or prolonged. Once they start to flower, regular deadheading will help extend the display.
