How to Sow & Care

Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed, free from weeds and competing vegetation. Light raking or rolling ensures good seed-to-soil contact.

Sowing: Broadcast seeds evenly across the area. Avoid burying seeds too deep for optimal germination.

Establishment: Annual species will flower in the first year, while perennials establish gradually, providing blooms in subsequent seasons.

Management: Cut once or twice annually depending on site objectives. Remove cuttings to maintain low fertility and encourage species diversity.

Long-Term Care: Avoid fertilisers and minimise soil disturbance to preserve balance and prolong flowering.
