What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Rockery Plants Flower Mixture is best sown directly into outdoor garden beds in late spring for effortless, continuous color.
-
Outdoor Direct Sowing (Recommended): Direct sow seeds outdoors in mid-to-late spring once the danger of hard frost has passed and soil temperatures warm up.
-
Site Preparation & Sowing: Choose a location in full sun to partial shade with light, fast-draining soil. Rake the soil surface loose, scatter seeds evenly, and lightly cover with a thin layer of soil.
-
Germination & Moisture: Keep the seedbed consistently moist through the 1 to 2 week germination period.
-
Thinning & Care: Once seedlings are established, thin or transplant them to 20 cm (8″) apart to ensure each species has space to spread and bloom. Once mature, these hardy annuals exhibit superior heat and drought tolerance, requiring minimal supplemental water.
