Commonly called Cottage Pinks these pretty fragrant double and semi-double blooms are a traditional cottage garden favourite. Long lasting in the vase too!

Approx. 100 seeds

Can be sown directly to the garden as soon as ground can be worked, or for earlier flowers, start indoors 6-8 weeks before final spring frost. Sow seeds 3mm (1/8″) deep in light, well drained soil. Keep moist until germination. If stated directly, plants may not flower until the following year. For a tighter, more compact mound, trim plants lightly after blooming.

Do not mulch as plants need air circulation around stems at all times.
