Vigorous plants produce abundant 3 to 6 inch blooms in a full color palette of pink, purple, red, salmon, white, and yellow, giving you serious visual impact and plenty of cutting material. The cut-and-come-again habit encourages branching and repeat flowering with every harvest, so a modest planting keeps color coming all season. Flowers hold their form and color beautifully in arrangements, and the open blooms draw butterflies and beneficial insects to the garden. Seeds germinate readily and plants reach full bloom within weeks of sowing. Blooms in about 60 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(8, 79, 17);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 79%. Test Date: 2\/26.
