Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from March to May for earlier blooms. Use a fine, well-draining seed compost and lightly press seeds onto the surface. Cover lightly with compost, ensuring the soil remains moist. Keep the temperature around 18-21°C for best germination results.

 

Transplant seedlings into individual pots or directly into garden beds once they are strong enough to handle and after the last frost has passed. Space plants 30-40 cm apart to allow for their upright growth.

 

Sow out side during May - June where they are to grow by pressing the seed on the surface of the soil.

 

Canterbury Bells Double Mix prefer full sun or partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming and helps maintain a tidy appearance throughout the growing season.
