About this mix: This mix is inspired by traditional apothecary gardens, bringing together herbs and flowers that have been gathered and used for generations in balms, soaps, infused oils and botanical skincare. Valued for their skin-loving properties, these plants are known for their gentle, soothing qualities. This mix will create a garden that is both beautiful and useful, while also attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects throughout the season.
Created for makers and for those who like to bottle summer and bring it indoors. Grow, infuse and craft something naturally beautiful.
This mix includes:
Calendula, Chamomile, Lavender, Yarrow, Comfrey, Cornflower
Approx - 600 seeds
Sow directly outdoors March–May, in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Scatter seeds thinly onto prepared soil and lightly rake to cover. Water gently and keep moist while seeds establish. For earlier flowers, seeds can also be started indoors February–March and transplanted once the risk of frost has passed. Allow plants space to naturalise and weave together for a relaxed garden effect.
