Description

The ultimate just-chuck-in mix of seeds, which romp quickly from sowing to picking, both for the vase and as edible flowers. They make brilliant companion plants too and are loved by all the pollinators and then their seeds are feasted on by the birds.

This mix contains:
  • Calendula officinalis 'Neon'
  • Calendula officinalis 'Indian Prince'
  • Calendula officinalis 'Sunset Buff'
  • Centaurea cyanus 'Black Ball'

Care Tips

Water regularly until established. Keep picking or deadhead to ensure flowers until the first frosts. For stronger plants sow in autumn and over winter. Great for cut flowers and growing in the border or pots.
