Garden Uses

Use Grace Mix in a supported cutting row or in the middle of a cool-season sunny border where the taller stems can rise above compact flowers.

Growing Notes

• Sow one raw seed per small plug, cover by about 3 mm and keep at 18°C with even moisture.
• Transplant at about four weeks while the plug is compact, handle from below and keep the original soil line.
• Harden for 7–10 days, then choose 40 cm garden spacing or the closer supported cut-row system described above.
• Feed lightly, water at soil level and maintain strong airflow; excess nitrogen produces soft stems and poorer flowers.
• Harvest when 3–6 flowers are open and place stems straight into clean water.
