CLARY Blue Denim

Very dwarf and base-branching producing bushy plants with intense purple blue bracts, keeps its colour when dried.

To Sow & Grow: Sow oudoors where they are to flower, 0.5cm (1/4) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 30cm (1) apart. Water well until plants are established.

Or sow indoors in trays of compost. Water well and place in a greenhouse or cold frame. Keep moist. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2) apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by the leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm (10 apart, when frosts are over.
