Description
A fine showy variety with large, double basket flowers in a beautiful lavender-purple color.

Oxford Blue is especially known for its high production but also for its pleasant scent.

Great to use for cutting thanks to its high stem height and durability in vase.

A towering beauty that creates both space and dynamism in summer bouquets. Did you know that the bower plant is particularly popular with our pollinators? We warmly recommend co-planting the bower together with Zinnia and snapdragon to create a stunning butterfly border with that little extra!

Care and cultivation advice

Pre-cultivate indoors in sowing soil in March-April. Preferably cover the sowing with a transparent cover equipped with air holes for the best result. Keep the sowing warm and, once the seeds have germinated, cool and as bright as possible. The plants can be planted out after hardening and when the risk of frost is completely over.

Pincushion Flower can also be sown directly at the growing site when the soil is warmed up. The variety thrives best in a sunny place.

(ReYellowarly weed for a longer and more lush flowering!)
