Contact UsHow To Grow
To grow your Cottage Garden Shaker mix, follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the chosen area for your seeds by turning or raking the soil until it is crumbly, removing stones and weeds as you go.
- Open the pouring spout on the side of the box and carefully shake out the seed mix thinly and evenly directly over the prepared area. You can sow thickly or thinly, depending on what look you want to achieve.
- Gently rake over the seedbed to lightly cover the seeds.
- Water well until the plants are established.
Sow at 2-3 week intervals for continuous flowering. Some perennial varieties may not flower until the second year.
Once the flowers appear, pollinating insects and bees will soon follow, and your garden will be a hive of activity!
