Product details
How
Choose a Sunny, well-drained, sheltered position. Work in lime and Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before planting. Sow into damp soil beside trellis or support (up to 2m high) direct where they are to grow. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix and firm down. Do not water for a couple of days after sowing.
Care
Support small seedlings with twigs until they can reach trellis. Begin applying Yates Yates Thrive Flower & Fruit Soluble Plant Food regularly when buds appear to improve blooming. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
In cooler areas of middle climatic zone, seeds can be sown through early Spring. For best results, have trellis running in a north-south direction. Pick blooms regularly to promote further flowering. At the end of the season, improve soil by digging in these nitrogen-rich plants.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
