Godetia

One of our best discoveries for the garden this year has been Godetia. I think they were bought by accident, so they were sown around the middle of may, after all the planned seedlings were potted on we were left with these godetia seedlings. we didn’t know what to do with them so they stayed in their seed trays for a few weeks, they became rather straggly and didn’t look up to much at all. But Fliss potted them on, all of them going straight into a 10in (or thereabouts) terracotta pot.

Here’s a picture of what they eventually looked like. Next year the paln is to sow then directly into the flower beds, I think they should do quite well.
