Description

Salpiglossis sinuata 'Royale F1 Mix' is a mix of annual flowers with variegated colours for borders or containers. Their funnel-shaped flowers, some marked with contrasting veins, display intense colours: red, purple, violet, orange-yellow, and orange. Salpiglossis is a South American annual plant also known as Changing Colour Trumpet or Velvet Trumpet. Sown early in the season, it blooms from June to September. Seeds can be collected for resowing in the following spring.

Originating from the mountainous regions of southern Chile, Salpiglossis sinuata belongs to the Solanaceae family. This annual or biennial plant reaches 60 cm in height in the 'Royale Mix' selection. It has an upright and branched habit. Its appearance strongly resembles petunias and surfinias. Its stems are branching, flexible, and slightly trailing. It is possible to pinch them to promote a bushy effect. Its lanceolate leaves are green. Its flowers, which renew themselves for weeks, are velvety, and shaped like wide trumpets 5 to 7 cm in diameter. The petals are often marked with contrasting veins, creating a unique visual effect. After being pollinated by insects, the flowers produce seeds that give rise to plants faithful to the mother plant. Salpiglossis thrives in direct sunlight or partial shade, in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil.

Salpiglossis sinuata 'Royale F1 Mix' is particularly appreciated in cottage-style gardens for its vibrant colours and long flowering period. It is perfect in borders, beds, or containers, and pairs well with perennial salvias 'Mainacht', mixed double zinnias 'Zwizzle', French marigolds 'Alumia Vanilla Cream', and pastel Petunias 'Tidal Wave F1 Silver', for example.

Planting and care

Salpiglossis 'Royale F1' is preferably sown under cover in a seed tray from March. If frost is still persistent in your region, wait until April, as the seeds will prefer a temperature between 18 and 25°C to germinate.

Just cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost kept slightly moist. They will germinate between 14 and 30 days. Make sure to place the seed trays in the sun, as the seeds need light to germinate. You can also bag them to maintain a warm and humid atmosphere. When the young plants are large enough to be moved, you can separate them and put them in pots if the frost period is not over, keeping them warm (taking them out during the day) until transplanting them outdoors in May. Otherwise, you can place them in hanging baskets or pots. You can gradually acclimatise them if the nights are still cool by taking them out of their shelter during the day. They prefer a soil rich in compost, neither too dry nor waterlogged.

To branch out the Salpiglossis, you can pinch the tips of the growing stems.
