Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors:

Sow seeds in trays or pots filled with fine compost from late winter to early spring. Lightly press the seeds onto the surface, covering them with a fine layer of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a temperature of 18–21°C and ensure the soil remains consistently moist. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots before hardening off and planting outdoors after the last frost.

 

Outdoors:

Direct sow in a well-prepared bed from late spring to early summer. Scatter seeds thinly over the surface and lightly rake them into the soil. Water gently and ensure young seedlings have adequate space to develop. Plants will establish during the first year and produce stunning flowers in their second year.

 

With its bold, long-lasting blooms and elegant form, Pyrethrum Robinson’s Giant is a must-have for any garden, bringing vibrant colour and attracting pollinators while offering excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.
