Wand Flower or Angels' Fishing Rods Arching wands of pink flowers Flowering Time: late spring to mid summer Sowing: For best results sow seeds onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. We recommend germinating at 15 to 20°C degrees. Although they can be sown at any time these seeds may sometimes wait for spring before emerging but spring sowing will obviously give them a full season of growth. When seedlings are large enough to handle transplant into 7.5cm (3in) pots and later into 13cm (5in) pots and overwinter in a frost free greenhouse or coldframe. The following spring gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost 5cm (2in) deep and 38-45cm (15-18in) apart in a sunny spot on fertile well drained soil.
