Planting

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

Where to sow
Choose bare chalky or alkaline soil in an open, sunny, well drained position.

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 during germination, especially because chalky soil can dry quickly. Remove obvious weeds, do not feed and cut back after seed has fallen.

Results

Flowering
Late spring to late summer.

Height
Approximately 20 cm to 1 metre.

What to expect
Quick species can provide early interest, while perennial flowers develop a more established display over later seasons.

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