At a Glance
- Variety:Mixed Seeds
Cheerful mixture of easy-to-grow cottage garden favourites which will flower just a few weeks after sowing and bloom for several weeks.
Wonderful as an inexpensive gap filler, or sowing in mixed borders.
Require very little attention and are great for the children’s garden because they grow so quickly.
Sowing Time
March – May
Sowing Outdoors
Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds thinly in pre-watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil. Sowings made in semi-circular lines create a natural ‘drift’ effect. Keep moist until seedlings appear and as required in dry spells.
Thinning
When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to allow their development and to prevent overcrowding.
Flowering Time
June – October
