Comments Sow in either early spring or early autumn, and do not cut. When flowering has finished at the end of summer, ensure that all seed is shaken from the mature plants as you pull them up. Most species will germinate and establish within a few weeks, although some may not appear until the following summer. Some thinning out or mowing may be necessary.

Shake bag well before using to mix up the seed mixture for an even variety.
