Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from February to May for early flowering or in late summer for blooms the following year. Use seed trays or pots filled with fine compost, pressing the seeds lightly onto the surface. Cover with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite and maintain a temperature of 15-20°C. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged until germination occurs, usually within 14-21 days.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting outdoors. Space plants 20-25 cm apart in a sunny, well-drained location.

 

 

Rock Cress Mixed is a reliable and long-lasting perennial that adds a burst of early colour, perfect for brightening up any garden space with minimal effort.
