I missed all my seedlings, probably sowed them too early. However, I had put them under a tunnel and watered them regularly. I hope the seeds will still be viable next spring?

Description
The Salpiglossis 'Black Trumpets' or Salpiglossis sinuata is an annual plant with a slightly slender, but bushy habit. Its deep burgundy-red trumpet-shaped flowers catch the eye from late spring and continue blooming until late summer.
Its appearance resembles that of petunias. Its stems are indeed branching, flexible, and slightly trailing. It is also possible to encourage branching by pinching them, which will result in a bushy effect. The Salpiglossis will then form a clump 50 cm (20in) tall and 30 cm (12in) wide. The leaves are light green, lanceolate, and become smaller towards the top of the stem. The stem bears multiple flowers, which open like petunias and require sunlight to bloom. They have a tubular shape, measure 4 to 5 cm (2in), and appear velvety. Their burgundy-red color intensifies towards the center, highlighting the small bright yellow stamens. This deep color, combined with an airy appearance, blends easily into flower beds, adding small intense touches.
The Salpiglossis sinuate, somewhat forgotten, is nevertheless not very demanding. It prefers sunny and moist, well-drained soils, and will flower from June to September if you take care to remove faded flowers and optionally cut back the stems in August to encourage new growth. It fits well among tall summer flowers, providing volume and lightness, but it also thrives in container gardening. Its uncommon shade may seem exotic, but it adapts to many color compositions. It complements both romantic-style gardens and more vibrant and intense palettes.

Planting and care
Salpiglossis 'Black Trumpets' are best sown under cover from March onwards. If frost is still stubborn in your region, wait until April, as the seeds prefer a temperature between 18 and 25°C.
Cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost and keep it slightly moist. They will germinate in 14 to 30 days. Leave the trays in the sun, as the seeds need them to germinate. You can also bag them to keep the atmosphere moist and warm. When the seedlings 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 (by taking them out during the day) until they are transplanted into the ground in May. Alternatively, you can plant them in window boxes or pots. You can acclimatise them gradually if the nights are still cool by taking them out of their shelters during the day. Choose a substrate that is rich and not too soggy.
To make the Salpiglossis branch out even more, you can pinch the ends of the stems to encourage them to divide.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
