PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

MY TIP:

Whether you start early or plant it outdoors, I recommend growing it in a pot. Then plant it in the bed as a seedling.

LOCATION

  • Sunny to partially shaded.
  • Well-drained, rather poor soils.
  • Enough space, as the plant likes to self-seed.

PRE-CULTURE

Pre-culture on the windowsill or in the greenhouse:March to April

  • Fill seed pots with loose potting soil.
  • Cover seeds with soil, dark germinator.
  • Keep soil evenly moist, but not wet.
  • Germination takes 10 – 20 days at 18 – 22 °C.
  • Harden off young plants and plant them outdoors when they are about 5 cm tall.

Direct sowing

Direct sowing into the bed:From April to July or in autumn.

  • Prepare the bed, loosen the soil, remove weeds.
  • Cover seeds with soil.
  • Water carefully.
  • After rising, space the seeds 20 – 30 cm apart.

CARE

  • Water regularly in the beginning, later only when dry.
  • No additional fertilization is necessary, some compost in spring is enough.
  • Remove faded flowers regularly for a longer flowering period.
  • Cut off seed heads in good time to prevent self-seeding.

Happy gardeners

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

Dear Sarah, thank you for your incredibly beautiful seeds. I've already ordered more tulips and more for spring.

Kathi

You simply have the most beautiful dahlias. I'm so happy about them!

Daniela

I just love everything I have from you – especially the dahlias.

Regina

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!
