Sowing Instructions

 

For indoor sowing, fill seed trays or pots with fine compost. Sow seeds thinly on the surface and cover lightly with compost. Keep soil moist and maintain a temperature of 18-21°C for optimal germination.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting outdoors after the last frost.

 

For outdoor sowing, scatter seeds in well-prepared, sunny soil. Lightly rake the soil and water gently. Thin seedlings to 30 cm apart once established.

 

With its bold, pink blooms and natural pest repelling properties, Pyrethrum Robinsons Giant Pink is a versatile addition to any garden, providing both beauty and practical benefits.
