How To Grow

1. Prepare the chosen area for your seeds by turning or raking the soil until you have a good crumbly consistency, removing any stones and weeds as you go.
2. 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. 
3. Gently rake over the seed bed to lightly cover the seeds.
4. Water well until the plants are established.

- For a continuous show make several sowings at 2-3 week intervals. 
- Some perennial varieties may not flower until the second year.
- Once the flowers start to appear, pollinating insects and bees will soon follow, and your garden will be a hive of activity!
