Instructions

New sowing

Create a beautiful flower garden with the following steps:

1. Dig the soil to about 30 cm deep and remove weeds. Flatten the soil and prepare a seedbed.
2. Begin sowing around the garden’s edges.
3. Continue sowing lengthwise and across the breadth of the garden.
4. Rake the seeds gently into the soil (no more than 5mm deep).
5. Walk or roll over the seeds to press them firmly into the soil.
6. Keep the soil moist after sowing to encourage proper germination.

Maintenance of a perennial flower meadow

Mow at a height of 10 cm when 70% of the vegetation is in bloom. On poorer soils, one cut is usually sufficient, typically in September when seeds are ripe. On fertile grounds, mow twice: first in June/July and again in September. After mowing, let the cuttings sit for a few days so seeds can drop, then clear them away. We recommend mowing in phases to ensure continuous pollen availability for bees and butterflies.
