Germination Instructions for Abundant Growth

Sowing Indoors: Sow seeds 1mm deep into moist, well-drained seed compost. Propagate at a temperature of 20-30°C. Do not exclude light, as it can aid germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 8cm pots. Acclimatize the young plants to outdoor conditions gradually and plant them out when the weather has cooled, with a spacing of 30cm (12 inches) between plants.

Growing and Cultivation Tips for Continuous Blooms

Plant your Malope in a location that receives full sun and offers rich, well-drained soil. Due to their height, staking may be required, especially in windy conditions. These plants are easy to care for and grow very quickly, providing a rapid return on your gardening efforts. As a ‘cut and come again’ variety, regular picking of flowers and deadheading of spent blooms will significantly prolong the flowering window and encourage the development of more lateral growth, leading to even more flowers.
