Florist's Garden seed collection
Frankly, I could have given it a zero, nothing to do with the promise of the photo. Half of the flowers didn't come out and the rest are stunted.

Description
The Seed Collection for a Florist's Garden consists of 5 different varieties of annual flowers, in various shapes and colours, that are perfect for making fresh or dried bouquets. Sown in spring, they will bloom from summer to autumn, creating a magnificent multi-coloured display that is well visited by pollinating insects. The collection includes Godetia with a compact habit and beautiful double to semi-double flowers in a range of pastel or vibrant colours, double white and mauve Delphiniums, a dark pink Lavatera, and two varieties of trailing Amaranth with long plumes in deep red or pale green.
The collection consists of:
1 x packet of Godetia or Clarkia demi-nain Whitneyi: plants that reach a height of 45 cm (18in), producing funnel-shaped double to semi-double flowers with a satin-like texture, reminiscent of azaleas. The corollas are bicolour or variegated, displaying a beautiful range of pastel or vibrant colours from white to mauve to pink and red, depending on the plants.
1 x packet of Delphinium consolida Qis White: this variety produces floral spikes that reach a height of 1.20 m (4ft), adorned with double white flowers from June to September. Ideal for the back of borders.
1 x packet of Delphinium consolida DelQis Dark Blue Edge: a selection that forms robust and branched floral stems, reaching a height of 90 cm (35in) to 1 m (3ft), adorned with frilly double flowers bordered and striated with mauve blue.
1 x Lavatera trimestris Silver Cup: adorable bushy plants that reach a height of 50 cm (20in), covered from July to September-October with large round satin-like flowers in a delicate dark pink colour veined with carmine.
1 x packet of Amaranthus caudatus Red & Green Mix: this selection combines the two most commonly found versions in nature, producing flowers in an intense purplish red, of great richness, and, on other plants, pale green to cream-coloured flowers. This surprising flowering, which reaches up to 1.20 m (4ft) above the ground, occurs in late summer and autumn.
Delivered in 5 separate packets.
The flower meadow is very fashionable. This beautiful alternative to a lawn blooms throughout the entire season while requiring little maintenance. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance to a slightly wild and sunny area of the garden, whether in a flower bed or a flower meadow, this mix for multi-coloured bouquets is sown in spring, in well-prepared soil. The flowers in this mix are often nectar-rich, providing a significant source of food for pollinating insects. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes along a pathway, or on the slope bordering a sunken path, or at the back of the garden bordering the countryside.

Planting and care
Two solutions are available to you:
-
Sow in March-April undercover and transplant the young plants at a good distance, 40 cm (16in), in your flower beds, 5 to 6 weeks after sowing, when the risk of severe frost has passed. This sowing can be done in pots for easier transplanting or in classic seed trays. Ideally, a temperature close to 15 to 18°C (59 to 64.4°F) is needed for good seed germination. Germination usually takes about fifteen days.
-
Sow directly in situ at the end of April or beginning of May, then 5 weeks later, thin out the rows to give them enough space to develop. In the beginning, keep a close eye on your seedlings, as snails are fond of these young plants. Encourage more flowers by removing old, faded flowers.
Note: in mild climates, annuals can be sown at the end of summer or beginning of autumn, directly in the open ground: they will then flower earlier in the season.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
