The Fried Egg or Poached Egg plant will attract hoverflies to your garden to beat the aphids. Bees also love this low, spreading carpet of fragrant golden and white blooms that will grace the front of the border, rockery or path edging.
Sowing Instructions: Best sown where they are to flower in spring or late summer/early autumn for overwintering. Sow 3 mm (1/8in) deep in rows 30 cm (12in) apart in well cultivated soil which has been raked to a fine tilth.
Growing Instructions: thin out the seedlings to 10 cm (4in) apart.
Aftercare Instructions: they prefer full sun and a cool moist root run and because of this do very well when grown as an edging to paths. For very attractive winter/early spring flowering pot plants in a cool greenhouse or conservatory sow from mid summer to early autumn.
