COMMENTS: A tender perennial treated as a half hardy annual. The Rocket series (shown) is much taller than the Tahiti series as it can grow up to 2-1/2 to 3 ft. tall. An excellent cutting flower. Cut to soil level in the fall and it will survive a mild winter! A well drained soil is essential. Fertilize monthly. Pinch young plants for heavier branching. Deadheading is essential. The Rocket mix has long tapering spikes in orange, orchid, pink, red, rose, white, and yellow.
