How to Sow Seeds

Growing notes: You can sow our Cottage Garden Mix seeds virtually year-round, avoiding the hottest and coldest months. The seeds can be scattered thinly or sown in the flowering position. Cover lightly with a seed-raising mix, firm down, and keep moist. Thin out as necessary. Choose a well-drained soil and a sunny position.

Flowers will appear after 8-14 weeks and continue over many months. Seedlings emerge in 10-28 days. Use mulch where possible to preserve moisture and deter weeds. Remove dead flower heads to prolong flowering.
