Description

This Anti-Aphid Flower Meadow mix is a superb blend of 15 annual flowers with summer flowering (Coriandrum sativum, Achillea millefolium, Calendula officinalis, Ruta graveolens, Satureja hortensis, Tropaelum majus...). Cultivated around the vegetable garden, in the orchard, in flowerbeds near your roses, and even in pots, this combination of flowers will limit aphid invasions with their repellent effect. Sow from April to June for flowering from June to October.

One box is suitable for 10m².

Gardener's tip: to easily obtain a beautiful meadow, we recommend the "false sowing" technique: 15 days to 3 weeks before sowing, prepare your soil by loosening and raking it finely. Water and wait for the weed seeds to wake up and germinate. When they reach the seedling stage, destroy them with a hoe and then proceed with the actual sowing.

Planting and care

Preparing the ground before sowing

Preparing the plot to be sown is an important step. It is important to weed if necessary (the most foresighted can cover the ground with cardboard a few months before), then loosen and rake it to obtain a nice seed bed.

Sowing

Mix the seeds and vermiculite before sowing them broadcast, and cover them with soil using a rake to stop birds eating them. Carry out initial watering with a fine mist so that the soil remains moist until germination.

To perpetuate your meadow, let the annual flowers go to seed before mowing.

Sow from April to June for flowering from June to October.
