Pollinator Flowers Everlasting Beauty Mix
ANNUAL
Spring/summer bloom.
Frost tender.BEST TO START DIRECTLY OUTDOORS
In early spring, after all danger of frost is past, plant in a well- prepared garden bed in full sun. Shake packet to mix. Scatter the seed thinly and evenly over finely worked soil, aiming to have the seeds about 1-2 inches apart. Cover lightly, about 1⁄4 inch deep, and gently firm the soil over the seeds - a rake is handy for this step. Water thoroughly and evenly with a very gentle spray. Keep the seed bed moist while seeds germinate and flowers are growing and blooming. When seedlings are well-established, thin to 6 inches apart so remaining plants have room to grow and develop. Keep bed moist while flowers are actively growing for the most blossoms.
GROWING NOTES
This fast-growing mix of annuals feeds a wide range of pollinators and beneficial insects. With their lovely colors and intricate forms, the flowers are easily air dried so you can enjoy their beauty indoors for months.
TO DRY FOR DISPLAY
Cut flowers in bunches with long stems, tying each bunch with twine or rubber bands. Hang bunches upside down in a dry, airy place out of the sun for a few weeks until thoroughly dry, then use in wreaths, centerpieces, or everlasting bouquets.
