Description

Mr Fothergill’s Stock Ten Week Mix Seeds, Sweetly scented for pots and borders. Place some in pots by the door, to appreciate their scent as you walk by.

Sow indoors for surest results 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm 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 20cm apart, when frosts are over. Or sow outdoors for ease, where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings as required. Water well until plants are established. For a longer display make further sowings every two to three weeks.
