FAQs

What is the coverage rate for one pack?

One 200g pack, containing approximately 15g of seeds plus vermiculite carrier, is adequate for covering 6-8 square meters.

When is the best time to sow these seeds?

You can sow from mid-March to June for summer flowering, or from September to November for flowering the following spring.

Will the flowers bloom in the first year?

Annuals in the mix will flower in their first year. Perennials typically flower from the second year onwards, though some may bloom in the first year if sown early.

Can I grow this mix in containers?

Yes, you can sow the seeds in large containers, provided they have adequate drainage and you maintain consistent soil moisture.

What if the flowers don't look exactly like the pictures?

The images are for guidance only. Actual results can vary based on growing conditions, climate, and time of year. Seed contents may also vary slightly within the pack.

Do I need to feed the plants?

Feeding is optional. You can use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season if desired, but the mix is designed to thrive with basic care and suitable conditions.

How tall do the flowers typically grow?

The height of the plants in this mix ranges from approximately 30cm to 80cm (12 to 32 inches).

Troubleshooting

Seeds are not germinating

Ensure seeds were sown at the correct depth (lightly covered), soil has been kept consistently moist, and conditions are appropriate for sowing times. Check for adequate sunlight.

Poor flower bloom or growth

Verify the location receives adequate sunlight (full sun to partial shade). Ensure the soil has good drainage and consider a light feeding with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Ensure adequate watering, especially during dry periods.

Too many weeds dominating the area

Carefully remove weeds by hand, being careful not to disturb the emerging seedlings. Mulching lightly around established plants can help suppress future weed growth.

Lack of pollinators visiting the garden

Ensure a diverse range of flowers are blooming. Pollinators are attracted to variety, color, and scent. Consistent watering and proper care will lead to healthier plants that are more attractive to insects.
