The pure-visual member, and the germination contrarian: Phlox needs total darkness to germinate — cover the seed completely, while everyone else here wants light. ~18–21 °C, 1–4 weeks; a true annual blooming in 8–12 weeks.

Cherry Caramel is the draw — an unreal caramel-and-rose colour wash, every flower a slightly different blend. No scent to chase here; this one is for the eye, and for learning colour selection on a fast annual canvas.
