Sow Depth: Surface sow (0 mm into the mix), then top-dress with coarse vermiculite; the seed must be covered.

Germination: Normally 4–6 days at a 22–24°C media temperature under stable conditions; allow up to 14 days in a fluctuating home setup.

Why Grow This Variety
- Deep bordeaux-coloured flowers provide a distinctive colour accent.
- Plants flower 7 to 10 days earlier than the original Quartz range.
- Compact, mounded growth works well in smaller spaces.
- Large florets create a bold display.
Garden Uses
Use Quartz XP Bordeaux in full-sun containers, flower beds or borders where its compact growth can add early colour.
