Planting

When to sow
For best results, sow from March to May or August to October.

Where to sow
Sow on bare acidic soil in sun or light partial shade. Avoid rich, heavily fertilised ground.

How to sow
Remove existing grass and weeds to expose bare soil. Lightly rake the surface, scatter the seed evenly, then gently press or tread it into the soil. Do not bury the seed deeply.

Sowing rate
3 g per m².

Measurements and timings are only a guide. Growing is not an exact science, so do not worry if everything is not perfectly placed.

Nurture

Keep damp while seedlings establish and remove obvious weeds. Do not feed. Leave some seed heads, then cut back and
remove the cuttings after flowering.

Results

Flowering
Mainly late spring through late summer.

Height
Around 20 cm to 1 metre.

What to expect
A few species may flower early, but many are perennial and will strengthen over several seasons. The display should become more settled and varied with time.

Wildlife value
The flowers provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies, hoverflies and other visiting insects.
