Flower Seed Sowing Technique
Prepare a weed-free nursery bed with crumbly soil, moist below the surface. Mark out drills or areas for scattering seeds, spacing rows 30cm apart and labelling them. Sow seeds thinly, 2cm apart, and gently rake to cover. Water sparingly during dry spells to encourage deep root growth.
Once true leaves appear, thin plants to 10cm apart. In September or October, transplant seedlings with soil balls to the flowering site, providing some protection from winter winds in the first year.
