Description
Mr Fothergill’s Sweet Rocket Mix Seeds, Wonderful ‘spicy’ evening perfume. The scent is at its strongest from dusk until dawn, so plant where it can be fully appreciated.
Sow indoors for surest results, 0.5cm deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 21-42 days. Transplant when large enough to handle to individual pots. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 30cm apart. Or sow outdoors in a seed bed, 0.5cm deep into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart before planting out to flowering position in autumn. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season.
• A hardy perennial, flowers the year after sowing
• Pretty flower spikes and a wonderful evening fragrance
• Perfect in cottage borders, attracts beneficial insects
