Grandmothers Cutflower Grd

Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. The Grandmother's Cut Flower Garden Mix is a charming, old-fashioned blend of flowers your grandmother might have grown. Twenty-three varieties of annuals, biennials and perennials will provide flowers for cutting from spring through first frost. Even if your grandmother didn't have a green thumb, this mix will evoke images of a simpler, less hurried time in which she lived. They have a wonderful range of colors, shapes and textures to enliven a whole season's worth of bouquets. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. This cut flower mix has 23 different flowers to enliven any bouquet. An old-fashioned cutting garden was often no more than a corner of the garden where a few flower seeds were tossed. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the flowers for water and sun. This mix covers approximately 100 square feet. In cool climates plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last average frost date. ... additional information
