“Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the mind”– Luther Burbank, botanist and agricultural pioneer, 1849-1926.
Flowers are our sanctuary in the garden, and we wanted to create a flower collection that was easy to start from seed and could be directly sown in containers or in your garden in spring. This is a great collection if you are new to growing flowers from seed.
This 4-pack includes a beautiful assortment of flowers of different colours, shapes and sizes:
- Pink Popsocks Cosmos. A classic cottage garden flower. Plant height: 24-36″”. Sun/Partial Sun.
- Zinnia. Beautiful flowers of deep pink, red, yellow, orange. Plant height: 24-36”. Sun.
- Johnny Jumpup. A lovely little viola. Plant height: 4-6”. Sun/ Partial Sun.
- Bee’s Friend (Phacelia). A mesmerizing flower with mauve-lavender blossoms. Plant height: 24”. Sun/ Partial Sun.

We will include growing instructions.
Pink Popsocks Cosmos. Sow seeds in the garden mid-May or so (even before the last frost) and barely cover with soil. Sow seeds a few inches apart and then thin seedlings to about 8″ apart. Plant height: 24 -36”. Sun/Partial Sun.
Zinnia. Sow seeds in the garden late May-early June (they need warmth). Sow ¼” deep. Sow 3 or so seeds in the spot you would like a plant and then thin to the strongest. Space plants 12” apart. Plant height: 24 -36”. Sun.
Johnny Jumpup. The easiest way to grow Johnny Jumpups is to sprinkle the seeds in your garden or container in spring. Press seeds into the soil, lightly covering seeds with soil. Your Johnny Jumpups will know what to do! Plant height: 4-6”. Sun/ Partial Sun.
Bee’s Friend (Phacelia). Sow seeds outdoors in early spring. Sow seeds 1/4″ deep; spacing seeds 3” or so apart. That’s it! Plant height: 24”. Sun/ Partial Sun.
