PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
SOWING
- Pre-cultivation: Start indoors in April, using one seed per pot. Don't start too early, as they grow quite quickly.
- Sow directly: Plant from late April/early May (check the weather forecast). If necessary, protect the new shoots from night frost, or if you want to be absolutely sure, wait until the Ice Saints.
- Tip: Pre-grown plants have a better chance of fighting snails and weeds.
CARE
- Location: Sunny, partial shade possible, then slightly fewer flowers.
- Watering: Frugal in the bed, water regularly in the pot.
- Fertilizing: Do not fertilize, promotes leaf growth rather than flowers.
- Pruning: For even more flowers, regularly remove dead flowers.
Tweezing
- Cut the main stem 20–30 cm above a pair of leaves. This promotes branching, stronger growth, and more stable stems.
PROTECTION
- Protect young plants from snails, e.g., withSchnexagonor asnail collar.
CUT FLOWERS
Cut before fully opening, keep in the vase for up to a week.

Your list accompanies me every time I go plant shopping, and even though my garden is very, very small, I'll be using many of it. I'm so glad I found your site!
Sandra
Thank you so much for your wonderful tips! Your tulip bulbs were a dream. I enjoyed the magnificent sea of flowers every day.
Edith
I thought long and hard about whether to treat myself to a rose fork from your shop. I ordered yesterday, and today it arrived – lovingly packaged, as always! Thank you for always making me feel appreciated and valued as a person.
Alexandra
Thank you for your inspiration and the beautiful images you continue to share. My path to an enchanted, lush garden is currently going deep and touching many inner levels. The cottage garden teaches so much for life: letting go, relinquishing control, allowing abundance, seeing beauty, and learning to enjoy. Thank you for the impetus for this process.
Annika
My dahlias from you turned out huge – beautiful and with so many flowers.
Live

Your dahlias are really amazing.
Nico
I just ordered from you again, dear Sarah, and I'm really looking forward to January so I can order more dahlias. I was so impressed with your dahlias this year – they're truly perennial bloomers! Thank you for the wonderful selection in your shop.
Freya
This morning I was telling my husband about you. We were standing in the garden admiring the tulips, and I said, "Honey, we need more of these!" Now I see your email—that's a sign!
