Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors:

Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed compost from February to May. Do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 18–22°C and keep compost evenly moist. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out into individual pots and grow on until ready to plant outdoors.

 

Outdoors:

Transplant into borders or meadow-style plantings after the last frost. Space plants 40–60 cm apart. Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering.

 

Bergamot Panorama Mixed delivers bold colour, aromatic foliage, and rich biodiversity support in a stately, easy care perennial. A standout for pollinator gardens and herbal borders.
