Mr Fothergills – Flower – Gomphrena – Mixed – 50 Seeds

Upright and bushy plants with long-lasting flowers Eye-catching and unusual plants that are great for dried flowers that are heat and drought resistant and ideal for sunny borders Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm deep in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20oC is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm apart, when frosts are over. For dried displays cut when buds first open, hang upside down in a light airy room. Remove leaves when stems are dry
