Sowing Instructions

Preparation

  • Clear the area of weeds, grass, and debris before starting.
  • If weeds have taken over, it’s best to reduce the number of weed seeds in the soil first. You can do this by allowing a flush of weeds to germinate, then removing them before sowing your flower seeds.
  • Work the soil until it reaches a fine, crumbly texture. Try to disturb it as little as possible afterwards, as this can bring new weed seeds to the surface.

Timing

  • The best times to sow our range of ColourMax Seeds are from March to June when the soil is warm and moist.  

Sowing

  • To achieve an even spread, mix the seed with a carrier such as dry sand before sowing.
  • For a good, varied display, sow the seed at 3g per m².
  • Lightly rake/roll/tread over the area once the seed has sown, to ensure light incorporation into the soil, without burying too deep.

Flowering

  • Within a few weeks, you should start to see seedlings emerging.
  • Flowers will typically bloom around three months from sowing (conditions allowing).
  • Annual mixtures will only flower for one year, for repeat flowering, re-sow the following Spring.
