Hot Cakes Formula Mixture Stock

Hot Cakes Formula Mixture is a compact, well-branched stock with fragrant, bright flowers for sunny beds and landscape plantings. PanAmerican Seed lists flowering from early spring through spring and autumn, with a mounded, upright habit. ## Characteristics The developer describes the plants as dwarf and very well-branched, with fully double plugs that can be selected easily. The profile lists a mature height of 10–16 inches and a width of 6–8 inches. It is a formula mixture; the source does not specify a fixed color recipe, so expect the display to vary rather than assume a particular palette. ## Growing Plant in sun. PanAmerican Seed gives a four-week plug crop followed by five to seven weeks from transplant to finish, useful for planning a bedding display. Its profile lists spacing of 6–8 inches, the same as its listed width.

Time planting to the desired flowering season; the developer lists early spring, spring, and autumn rather than continuous bloom.
