    A special mixture created by experts to provide an attractive and useful resource for birds, with annual flowers and grasses providing nutritious seed heads over a long season. Easy to grow and full of colour, it also makes an ideal filler for any gaps in the border.

    One box containing 20g of seed will cover approximately 10-20 square metres.

    Your box contains:
    • Amaranthus caudatus
    • Carthamus tinctorius
    • Centaurea cyanus
    • Cosmos bipinnatus
    • Linum rubrum
    • Panicum miliaceum
    • Tagetes erecta
    • Helianthus annuus dwarf

  • Growing instructions: Shake box well, then carefully tear open the tab at the side.
    Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Shake out the seed mix gently and evenly, directly onto finely prepared soil. Lightly rake over the seedbed to cover the seeds. Water well with a fine spray. Thin out if plants become overcrowded. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display make several sowings at two to three week intervals.

  • Sow: April-June
  • Flowers: June-October
