This Chambord mix for beds is a beautiful tribute to the vastest of the Loire Valley castles. It brings together a beautiful collection of blue or yellow summer-flowering annuals which bloom one after another, from July to September. In the space of a few months, this perpetually evolving blend paints a remarkably fresh and elegant picture. Sown in spring in well-prepared soil, the 'Chambord' mix forms a splendid, maintenance-free bed that will delight any gardener, while preserving biodiversity.
This selection consists of 22 varieties of summer-flowering annuals. From the beginning of July, the blue tones of Dwarf Morning Glory 'Royal Ensign' (azure blue) and cornflower 'Jubilee Gem' are brought in, while yellow is brought in by Eschscholzia californica, Coreopsis Tinctoria and marigold 'Pacific.' At the heart of summer, the small, intensely blue flowers of the Cynoglossus appear, softening the intensity of the Zinnia 'Canary Bird’ and the glaring yellow of the Mexican marigold. Around August, the sea lavender ‘Bleu de Kampf' and the Rudbeckia ‘Marmelade' bloom, taking over and dominating the scenery until September. Among the plants that set the tone are more wildflowers such as sunflowers, Coreopsis, corn marigold, Echium, Ageratum, Gilia capitata and perennial flax. All these plants show rapid growth and naturalizes relatively well by spontaneously self-seeding in the garden, in ordinary, well-drained soil. One packet of seeds sows an area of approximately 8 square metres. The size of the plants varies from 60 to 80 cm in height.
Wildflower meadows are very trendy. This beautiful alternative to grass lawns, blooms all throughout the summer months and requires little maintenance. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance to wilder, very sunny areas, to a bed or wildflower meadow, this luxurious Chambord mix is sown in spring, in well-prepared soil. Its flowers are often nectar-rich or melliferous, providing a significant source of food for foraging insects. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mix along paths, on a slope bordering a sunken path, or at the back of garden, providing an effect transition with the countryside landscape.

Botanical data
Sowing instructions:
Sow directly in their final positions, from March to early June, once the earth has warmed up, in a weed-free soil that has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow thinly on the surface of the soil and rake it lightly to cover the seeds. You can also sow at a depth of 1.5 mm, in drills spaced 30 cm apart. Germination normally takes 14-21 days.
Growing instructions :
When the seedlings appear, water well and remove weeds. In the autumn, when the plants have finished flowering and after having collected their seeds, they can be directly sown in the same place after having prepared the soil. Water well to make the seeds adhere to the soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
