Seed Grow Kit Guide
Begin sowing The Modern Grow Box seeds outdoors from March to June or August to October in a sunny position with well-drained soil. These plants thrive with minimal effort, making them ideal for window boxes, balconies, containers, or garden beds where they can add architectural interest.
Sowing
Sow the seeds directly onto bare, weed-free soil, gently raking the surface to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. A sunny, flat spot will encourage reliable germination during the recommended sowing months.
Growing
Once seedlings emerge, thin them to provide adequate space for growth, supporting their natural height and spread. This helps maintain the clean, contemporary look desired in modern garden settings from May through October.
Plant care
Water the plants moderately, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming and maintain the sleek, architectural appeal of this pollinator-friendly seed box.
