AQUILEGIA Nora Barlow Mixed

Flowers of A. vulgaris have been cultivated in our gardens for centuries. They are perhaps the most beautiful of traditional cottage garden flowers. The mixture give a wonderful colour range of mainly double spurless flowers.

To Sow & Grow: Sow indoors for surest results, 0.5cm (1/4) deep in a tray of compost, Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 21-42 days. Transplant individually when large enough to handle to 8cm (3) pots. Always handle by leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 30cm (1) apart.

Or Sow outdoors in a seed bed, 0.5cm (1/4) deep into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2) apart before planting out to flowering position in autumn.
