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) 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 Thrive Flower & Fruit Soluble Plant Food regularly when buds appear to improve blooming. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
For best results have trellis running in a North-South direction. Use seeds of all sizes, as seeds of darker coloured flowers are often small and shrivelled. Pick blooms regularly to promote further flowering. At the end of the season improve soil by digging in these nitrogen-rich plants.
