Why Grow This Variety
- Mixed colours create a dense cool-season flower display.
- Compact plants suit pots, entrances, patios and bright shaded borders.
- The series is selected for larger flowers, smaller dark leaves and improved uniformity.
Garden Uses
Use Resort Mix as a protected winter-to-early-spring feature in individual pots, grouped containers or a sheltered semishaded bed.
Growing Notes
- After transplant establishment, flower initiation needs about 3–4 weeks of cool conditions: roughly 10–14 °C days and 7–13 °C nights.
- Keep the mix evenly moist but never waterlogged; high heat and harsh sun shorten the display.
- Use airflow, soil-level watering and prompt deadheading to reduce grey mould in cool humid weather.
- Protect from frost; cool-growing does not mean frost-hardy.
