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.
