There is very little available from a British-grown annual between July and October that reads as genuinely autumnal rather than as summer fading, and this does. In a vase it makes an autumn arrangement look deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt wants rich, moisture-retentive, well-fed ground, which is the opposite of what cosmos and nasturtiums want.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dig compost into the planting position; people who treat it like a lean-soil annual get a thin, disappointing plant. Sow it on the surface, since the seed needs light, and be patient because the seedlings start slowly. Plant out in June. \u003cstrong\u003eSlugs go for the young plants hard for the first fortnight\u003c\/strong\u003e, until the leaves toughen and go rough, after which they largely leave it alone. Deadhead and it runs to November.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42961876123835,"sku":"RUD-FOR","price":2.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/6004\/7547\/files\/IMG-6632.jpg?v=1758898789"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/6004\/7547\/collections\/2048800b7a77bf32ba3f6f5_upscale.jpg?v=1779360821","url":"https:\/\/www.bishybarnabeescottagegarden.com\/collections\/all-flower-seeds.oembed?page=12","provider":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
