Mr Fothergill’s Clarkia Choice Double Mix Seeds

Description

Mr Fothergill’s Clarkia Choice Double Mix Seeds, Easy border flowers, great for cutting. Save some seeds to sow late June and in most years you will have blooms until the first frosts. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season.

Sow outdoors where they are to flower, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14–28 days. Thin seedlings to 15cm apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display make sowings at two to three weekly intervals. Sowings made in curves rather than straight lines often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season.
