Half-hardy Annual. Also known as Poor Man's Orchid. Bushy, upright annual with fern-like foliage and clusters of miniature, orchid-like flowers in purple, mauve-pink, yellow or white, with markings in white, yellow, black or red. Needs rich, moist soil and will flower best as a pot plant or a greenhouse specimen. Pinch tips of young plants to encourage bushy growth. Sow seeds in late summer for pot-bound flowers in late winter or spring. Susceptible to aphids. 'Disco' is a recommended hybrid variety on neat, compact plants in intricate, pretty colors.

Profuse orchidlike flowers in pink, rose, lilac, purple, or white, all with markings in various colors. Blossoms look quite showy against the ferny foliage, make long lasting cut flowers. Give well drained, rich soil in a wind sheltered site. Good potted plant.
