Growing Tips for Your Agrostemma Githago Queen Mixed Seeds:

Sow directly where they are to flower. Sow 12mm (½ inch) deep into prepared soil that has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow sparingly in drills spaced 30cm (12 inches) apart. Keep the ground well-watered.

Germination takes 7-14 days, with seedlings typically appearing in 6-8 weeks for spring sowings. Thin seedlings to a final spacing of 30cm (12 inches). This plant requires little attention and does not need feeding. In exposed areas, staking may be beneficial.

Deadhead spent flowers to prolong the blooming period. Allow a few plants to self-seed for future generations, while other plants can be pulled and composted in autumn.

Important: Do not sow in areas grazed by sheep or in a nursery meadow. Toxic to chickens.
