Mr Fothergill’s 22401 Flower Seeds, Stock Ten Week Mixed

Sow indoors for surest results, February-April, 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20 degree C (60-68 degree F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant them, 5 cm (2-inch) apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into well-drained soil, May-June, 20 cm (8-inch) apart, when frosts are over. Or, sow outdoors for ease, April-May, where they are to flower, 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings as required. Water well until plants are established. For a longer display, make further sowings. Flowers: June to September.

Hints and Tips: Place some in pots by the door to appreciate their scent as you walk by.
