Mexican Hat Plant Seeds - Red Midget

With this Mexican Hat plant, you can expect it to flower in the first year! This unique and unusual hardy perennial boasts curious-shaped flowers in brick-red with yellow edging, almost like a mini sombrero! Well, it does say it in the name! These flowers might be a little unusual-looking, but they will be loved by kids and encourage them to plant out in the garden.

The woody stems of 'Red Midget’ are perfect to use for cut flowers, to bring a spectacular floral display indoors. Native to the American prairies, these plants are drought-resistant and make a lovely addition to sunny borders, wildflower meadows and gravel gardens. Also a great option for drier areas of the garden, as these are certainly sun-loving! Height: 40cm (16"). Spread: 30cm. (12"). Flowers from June-Sept. Cut back plants in autumn. Sow Feb-April for flowering Jun-Sep.

Sowing Information

Sow under glass indoors on the surface of pots or trays of good quality, moist seed compost. Press gently into the surface or cover lightly with vermiculite and germinate at approx. 21-25°C (70-77°F). Cover the tray with a sheet of glass or plastic to conserve moisture but do not exclude light as this assists germination. Transfer resulting seedlings into small pots and grow on. Acclimatise to outside conditions before planting out 45cm (18") apart.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
