'Skylover' is a tender perennial, usually grown as an annual. It bears 5-petalled small starry blue flowers from late Spring to early Autumn.
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Early Autumn
Flowers appear from late Spring to early Autumn. The flowers open only in sunshine.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Planted in light, free-draining soil in a very sunny position (it will not grow in shade) in Spring
Propagating by seed
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Sow seeds in a pot or tray filled with proprietary seed-sowing compost, or a 50/50 mix of multi-purpose compost and perlite or coarse grit. Sow large seeds with space between the seeds, and sow small seeds thinly, and cover the seeds with a thin layer of sieved compost (unless it is a type of seed that needs light to germinate). Water gently with a fine rose on the watering-can, allowing excess water to drain away.
