Double and semi-double flowers in a colourful, cheerful (pastel) mixture. The plants remain somewhat more compact than cheap mixtures: 25 cm.

An ideal seed flower for the "lazy" sower! Improve the garden soil with a little potting soil and sow directly, it always works. The flowers come in single and double forms, in a playful small cup shape. Even the foliage is beautiful: succulent fresh and incised.
