The bowl-shaped double blooms are pale orange and are produced on tall, hairy erect stems through the summer. This is a perennial that will self-seed freely in the border and over time will create broad patches of orange flowers in summertime.

Propagation by seed in Spring
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Sow seed on compost and cover lightly with sifted compost. Keep moist. Be warned: the seed is like dust! For a longer flowering period, sow in succession, and you can get a display into late Summer. Alternatively, the seed can be sown direct into soil that as been dug over.
Propagation by seed in Autumn
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Sow seed on compost and cover lightly with sifted compost. Keep moist. Be warned: the seed is like dust! Alternatively, sow direct in soil that has been dug over
