Seed Quantity 50 Seeds
Type Annual or short-lived Perennial
Genus Mimosa
Sow Seeds Sow indoors from January through to December into a medium size pot of seed compost and cover lightly. Keep moist and keep at around 20℃. Germination is slow and erratic and can take from 10 days to 6 weeks. Once germinated water sparingly
Plant Out Mimosa is a tropical plant. It should not be exposed to temperatures lower than 16 degrees Celsius. Because of this, it is recommended that it be cultivated as a houseplant, in a conservatory or greenhouse, or even though it might be transferred outside during the summer months. Feed with a fertiliser that is heavy in potash; tomato plant food is an excellent choice. Spray the leaves with water and only lightly water the plant on a consistent basis. When the leaves become yellow, this indicates that the soil is excessively damp.
Flowers July-October
Height & Spread 60cm high x 25cm spread

Mel supplies the highest quality seed and I always get such great results. But what completes it - and keeps me coming back - is her enthusiasm and engagement with soooooo many of her customers and insta following. She genuinely cares, and is a fount of knowledge. She is a creator of the best kind - her products reflect that 💛
Wow what an absolute delight this company is. Their customer service is superb - they kindly arranged for me to order this box and hold back delivery until we knew the actual moving in date. And it arrived not only on time but full of love with beautiful planet friendly packaging. How many gifts can be buy where there is joy in the purchasing, the receiving AND in the anticipation for when the flowers actually appear.
I'm so thrilled I'm purchasing for myself. :-)
Beautifully presented!! Good number of seeds per packet and a lovely selection of flowers !
It was estimated to arrive, a bit too late , as we were going away and wanted to give it to my sister in law, before we went.. a quick E mail to the seller, and it was dispatched immediately and arrived in time… excellent!!
I am amazed how quickly these have germinated. The first ones were showing after 4 days. Very happy with the seeds and the whole transaction. Thank you.
I'm obsessed with bishybarnabeescottagegarden seeds, it's like being a kid in a candy store , I love varieties of the flower selection, I always order the seed boxes because they are great value for money and there's always a cute surprise every time I open the box , love the presentation and iv planted so many seed this month so impatiently waiting for next spring 🤭
I’ve bought several packets of seeds from Bishybarnabeescottsgegarden. Always great quality and great service. Thank you again
From ordering, receiving my gorgeously wrapped box, opening to reveal copper coloured shiny tins with beautiful labels. To smelling the fantastic fragrance, I was overwhelmed with the seamless flow of this purchase. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely try out more flavours.
Ordered these as I saw one growing wild in my garden and thought was lovely. Seeds arrived very promptly, part of a small batch of various seeds, along with a free gift which was very much appreciated. Will certainly buy again and am looking forward to seeing the plants next year.
amazing germination on these seeds. looking forward to lots of beautiful spring flowers
Seeds sown directly outdoors last summer, all germinated and formed lovely silvery rosettes, and half have now also thrown up flower stalks and are producing stunning vivid pink flowers. I’m hopeful that the other half may do the same next summer. Great seeds, well packaged, excellent instructions - many thanks!
I've never grown Hesperis (sweet rocket) until this year, but Melanie's seeds were so successful and prolific, that I now have beautiful flowers wafting their amazing aroma around my garden...plus our honey bees are so happy 🐝 In fact lots of pollinators are visiting!
