This superb blend of fast flowering shorter annual varieties is almost as easy as throw and grow… there are 32 different varieties… beautiful blue Flax, Nigella, purply Pasqueflower, Cornflowers, Gypsophila and little Calendulas are just some of the blooms you will enjoy in the summer.    Sufficient seed for 2sqm

 

First decide where you would like your blanket of flowers then weed and dig the soil thoroughly to a fine tilth.  Mix the seed with about 4g of sharp sand or vermiculite – this will help mix the seeds and show you where you have sown them.  To make it easier to look after your flowers make drills so that your plants will grow in rows (helps with weeding) or simply broadcast over the area.

Perhaps these are too beautiful to eat but irresistible to grow and enjoy: they feature large, trumpet shaped silky flowers in a rich magenta-pink with a bright green star in the centre.  They are easy to grow, bloom for months, edible, attractive to pollinators, last 10 days or so in a vase – what isn’t there to love? Height 75-90cm
