Tip of the Week
Some Easy To Grow Cottage Garden Favourites To Sow Now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sweet William "Auricula Eyed Mixed":
Like many biennials, Sweet William is actually a short lived perennial. Fantastic heads of blooms with many rich colours and a great scent. Blooms June/July
Wallflower "Persian Carpet Mixed":
Again, sweetly-scented and a short-lived perennial. There are also many single colour varieties, such as "Cloth of gold," "Primrose Bedder" & "Blood Red" Blooms March/May.
Canterbury Bells "Cup And Saucer Mixed":
The very attractive bellflower in a lovely mix of blue, white and pink.
Pansy "Roggli Swiss Giants Mixed":
Sow now for massive flowering plants next spring.
Siberian Wallflower "Orange King":
Hardier than true wallfower and more perennial by nature, "Orange King" is almost florescent. Blooms May/July and if sheared back, more flowers in September.
Bellis "Habanera Mixed":
A huge flowered colourful form of the lawn daisy in pink, white and red. Blooms March/July.
Myosotis "Blue Ball":
The forget-me not. The perfect underplanting to cottage tulips. Blooms March/May.
