Seed Grow Kit Guide
Begin your cottage garden by sowing seeds outdoors in well-drained soil with good sunlight, ideal for balconies, containers, or garden beds. These classic cottage garden varieties thrive in typical UK garden conditions and benefit from some attentive care.
Sowing
Scatter the seeds on the surface of well-drained soil and gently pat them down without covering, as they require light to germinate. Sow between February and May or again in August and September for optimal results.
Growing
Once seedlings appear, thin them to avoid overcrowding and allow adequate airflow, which supports healthy growth through the growing months of May to October. If grown in containers, ensure sufficient spacing to accommodate their spread and charm.
Plant care
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells, to support steady development. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged flowering and helps attract beneficial pollinators, enhancing the classic cottage garden appeal throughout the season.
