What are these annual flower seeds used for?
They are intended for ornamental gardening, grown as a tall annual foliage plant to create a bold, upright accent in borders and large planters.
What does the Wonderboom plant look like?
It forms a dramatic, architectural plant with large palmate leaves and an upright habit, designed to stand out among other summer plantings.
How tall can it grow in suitable conditions?
In suitable conditions it can reach around 250 cm, so it is best placed where its height has room to develop.
How do I sow and plant it?
Sow in a seed tray from late winter to early spring in a warm place, or from early to mid spring under a cold frame. Sow on moist seed compost, cover lightly, keep evenly moist with good light, then pot on and harden off before planting out after the risk of frost has passed.
Where should I grow it in the garden or in containers?
Choose a sunny, sheltered position to help the tall growth develop without wind damage. Use fertile, well drained soil, keep moisture steady without waterlogging, and in containers use a roomy pot with reliable drainage and consider discreet support if exposed.
Is there any safety advice for handling?
Yes. The seeds are poisonous, so keep seeds and plants out of reach of children and pets and handle responsibly. This product is intended for ornamental gardening use only.
