Flower Kit Instructions

Welcome to all of you who have just ordered your Flower Kits and seeds from The Floral Project store!

Before you get started, watch this video with everything you need to know before you open a packet of seeds.

Please then either follow the instructions on the back of your packets or find your simple sowing instructions below - see below for the relevant Flower Kit. 

If you're in the Flower Club - head over to The Secret Garden where you'll find full sowing videos to follow and flower guides for each and every flower we have!

And while you're here - make sure to check out The Flower Club and jump on the waitlist so you'll be the first to know when we open the doors again.

Hardy Annual Starter Kit:

Before we get started: PUT YOUR LARKSPUR IN THE FREEZER FOR 7-10 DAYS BEFORE SOWING!

In the meantime, watch the videos below so you know what we'll be doing.

Firstly, your Phacelia. This is direct sown straight into the soil and covered so the seeds are 1cm deep. Once they start to germinate, thin them to 30cm spacing and that's it! Simple:)

Next, this video will show you how to sow your remaining seeds:

Orlaya and more..

Please note: chill your Orlaya and Daucus carota in the fridge in a plastic container or bag to protect the packet for 7-10 days before sowing for the best chance of success! This is called cold stratification - just so you know the technical term!

Here's a reminder of what alternatives you can use to a traditional greenhouse: https://thefloralproject.co.uk/blogs/news/do-i-need-to-have-a-greenhouse-to-join-in-with-the-floral-project

And here is the Orlaya and Daucus carota sowing.

Please note this is a clip from a longer session I videod so starts and ends abruptly! After sowing water from underneath and although you can place them on a kitchen windowsill, these seeds like the fluctuating day/night temperatures so if you have a sheltered spot outside or whatever you'll be using as a greenhouse, they can go straight out there. Add lids until they germinate (as long as they won't get blown off!)

Calendula and more:

Sweet Peas and more..

Please note: The Lavatera seeds you have are, in fact, Mont Blanc (white) rather then the pink the outside seed packet is labelled as! They are going to be beautiful! 

Malope and more...
