Growing around 30–50 cm tall, it brings colour and structure to flower beds and is also excellent as a cut flower. It has a long flowering period from June into autumn and, when cut back, quickly produces another flush of flowers. It is particularly attractive to insects and bees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0.0pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #0d0d0d; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eSowing:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #0d0d0d; background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e Direct-sow outdoors from April or indoors from March onwards, about 0.5 cm deep.
