Flowering Season

From Mid Summer TO Early Autumn

Large white flowers with darkish red markings in the throat bloom from mid-summer through to autumn.

 

Planting Outdoors

From Mid Spring TO Early Summer

Plant out container grown plants into a moist, semi shaded and moist site.

 

Propagation by cuttings

From Late Spring TO Late Autumn

This can be done from the stems but if there is flowers on them take them off, remove the lower leaves and put them into moist soil in pots. Keep moist but do not let them stand in water. Cuttings can also be placed in a vase or similar with water and they will root easily. Keep out of direst sun but in a bright place for both methods.
