Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden
Incredible, bright blue, forget-me-not type plants, flowering away throughout the summer months.
If you are after a gentle, nostalgic cottage garden look with flowers tumbling all about, then these will be the perfect fit
Anchusa prefers full sun and well-drained soil, but they are adaptable and will grow in most soils and conditions. Cut back after they have flowered in the summer to encourage a second bloom.
Seed Quantity: 100 Seeds
Type Perennial but can be grown as a biennial
Genus Anchusa capensis
Sow Seeds January-March indoors, onto moist, well-drained compost, and lightly press the seeds onto the soil. Cover very lightly with soil or vermiculite and keep at 18–20 °C. Once large enough to handle, pot on and grow in cooler but not colder conditions. It can also be sown in June or July and treated as a biennial to flower the following year
Plant Out: Acclimatise before planting out after the last frosts.
Flowers June-August
Height & Spread 25-30cm high x 25cm spread

Seeds germinated within a week of sewing. Very pleased with the quality. The shop is lovely to navigate, prices are very reasonable and overall service is 100%.
I am definitely a satisfied customer and have been back and bought more seeds
Love the seeds from Bishy B - great selection. Lovely packaging and fast delivery. Melanie is lovely - thank you
Excellent germination and such a good little company to buy from 😊
The seeds have germinated perfectly, first time with dahlias so very pleased 😀
All seeds are growing beautifully. I bought seeds from other BIG flower company, only 3 growing from 30. So I'll buy my seeds here in the future
My seed order was packed well and arrived swiftly..
Iv just planted the seeds out and I’m hopeful for a lovely display next year
Excellent seeds, speedy delivery
I have ordered many seeds from this website, the delivery is reasonable and so are the seeds. I get fantastic germination and am no expert. I have tried other seed companies and nothing compares. This is a very safe bet and one that you won’t regret.
Completely a beginner but they have germinated after a couple of days and seedlings seem to be coming along nicely, very healthy and happy little plants … seeds came in addition to sow a long package and all beautifully presented … will be a repeat customer
These were gorgeous . Presents for both my mum and daughter and they loved them! They smelt fabulous. Thank you 😊
I’ve made 3 orders with bishy barnabees cottage garden so far (spending between £20-30 each time) and every time the seeds have been dispatched quickly. For a small business getting my order within a week is excellent! Ive had amazing rate of germination on every species of seed I’ve sown. The young plants are all healthy and look likely to become healthy adult plants by summer. I’ve interacted with the owner on social media too and can honestly say she’s lovely!
Last year I grew lots of fantastic corncockle, but this will be the first time I've tried Bianca.
There's always so many amazing seeds/flowers to choose from at Bishybarnabees Cottage Garden. Delivered swiftly and hugely successful germination 🌱🥰🌱
Sowed the Dahlia Seeds last week - (in a suitable Pot on the Kitchen Window Sill - which serves as my greenhouse) the sturdy little Dahlia seeds were through in two days and are looking very healthy and happy! Obviously very fresh seeds in the packet.
The Sanctuary wax melts have a lovely spa fragrance that lasts for ages. Loved them so much I ordered more. I haven't tried the lemon and ginger yet. Excellent quality and service.
Beautifully packaged & illustrated. Will be planted next year and I’m confident they will germinate easily as Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Seeds are reliable.
