Description

Mr Fothergill’s Everlasting Flowers Mix Seeds, Perfect for dried flower arrangements. To dry, cut before flowers are fully openand hang upside down in an airy place.

Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 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. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) 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. To dry, cut before flowers are fully open and hang upside down in an airy place.

• Half hardy annuals, flowers the same year as sown
• A wide variety of blooms for dried flower displays
• Great multi-purpose addition to summer borders
