Cineraria Hybrids (Cineraria Cruentus Amigo Strain) - This is one of the most beautiful, low-growing flowers that you can grow from flower seeds! Nice compact and mounding plants, great for containers, pathway edges or even as ground cover plants. Blooms in shades of blue, red and pink. Perfect for cool season color! Cineraria Amigo strain is a great choice if you want some spots of lovely color during the winter.
Cineraria flower seeds require light for germination, so do not cover the seeds. Plant in a container or tray containing a seed starting mix and lightly press flower seeds into soil. Keep moist and germination should occur in 14 - 21 days. Blooms will appear in 16 - 18 weeks. Cineraria is a liberal self-sower, dropping its own flower seeds. Deadhead if self-sowing is not desired.
