Scattering seeds

Foxgloves, Aquilegia, Orlaya, poppies, hollyhocks and Verbascum

For best results start seeds in a seed tray but if you prefer these seeds can be be scattered around the garden any time from April to September. However a better idea is to put aside a small area of ground around 2’ x 1’ where the seed can be scattered on the surface and covered with small sticks or twigs to deter cats and gently watered, the rest is up to nature. When young plants are seen they can then be planted out in the position required in the garden or left to grow on in that area.
