NEW TO GROWING FROM SEED?
Everyone Has to Start Somewhere
There's something incredibly satisfying about watching the first tiny green shoot appear from a seed you've planted yourself.
And you don't need to know everything before you begin.
Start small. Follow the guide. Give your seeds a little care. And enjoy learning as your garden grows.
If something doesn't quite go to plan, that's part of gardening too.
The important thing is to sow that first little seed.
For variety-specific advice, always follow the individual Growing Guide above.
BOUGHT A COLLECTION?
Five Varieties. All the Help You Need.
If you've chosen our Cottage Garden Collection, you don't need a separate collection guide.
Simply use the individual Growing Guide for each variety as you're ready to sow it.
