ACHILLEA SUMMER PASTELS SEEDS
Achillea Summer Pastels
This is such a sweet mix of pinks, apricots, golds and terracotta. It makes such a great cut flower and an excellent gap filler in a posy.
It is a perennial so once you have it in your garden it will come back each year without you having to sow seeds. It gets about 60-80cm tall and looks great in a boarder with plants of all different heights like Honey Wart, Mignonette, Foxgloves, scabiosa etc.
Seed Sowing Instructions
-
In early Spring, sow a few seeds into seed raising mix. Cover them very lightly or just press into the soil, the seeds are very small.
-
Water them gently so the seeds don’t move around. Continue to water so they don’t dry out during the germination period.
-
Once they have germinated and are approximately 3cm tall, you can thin them out or transplant them into the garden when the risk of frost is over.
-
Alternatively, you can direct sow into a prepared garden bed in late Spring.
