Fabulous biennials! Gorgeous, nostalgic, and often scented; these flowers are completely perfect for a relaxed, cottage-style type of planting and are a total game changer if you want to extend your flowering season.
A little sowing in midsummer will give you a head start in the flower garden and will provide you with blooms from early spring until your autumn sown annuals to burst into life and the baton is passed on. Biennials are also invaluable to bees who are about early in the year, providing much-needed nourishment.
I used to have a hard time understanding biennials...why would you want to sow something that sounded as though it would take two years to flower, where's the fun in that?!
But actually, all it means is that you sow in midsummer to flower the following spring....no hardship at all!
In fact, sowing seeds and knowing you have next year's spring flowers underway will fill you with quiet satisfaction and then when they spring into life early in the season and you are immersed in colour, scent, and happiness, you'll be so glad you took a little time in June to sow them.
This beautiful box contains 8 gorgeous biennial varieties to make your garden sing in the spring!
It comes recommended by experienced cut flower growers Sophie and Helier for use in their online seed sowing flower courses www.sowsandgrows.co.uk
Contents:
Foxglove Alba....Adding elegance with its tall spires of elegant white flowers
Sweet William...A lovely mix of bi-coloured flowers which will bloom for months
Aquilegia Nora Barlow.... with gorgeous double blooms that open from pale green to pink and then fade to white towards the tips of the petals
Hesperis...Fabulous and scented, Hesperis lasts well in a vase and the bees adore it.
Canterbury Bells...Traditional, bell-shaped flowers in blue, pink, and white.
Honesty...The flower that keeps on giving! First up the enchanting purple and white early flowers followed by (if left to go to seed) the magical, translucent seed pods to use in dried flower arrangements.
Hollyhock Nigra.....The quintessential cottage garden flower. Tall, statuesque, full of nostalgic gorgeousness and in a rich, deep purple (almost black) colour
Wallflower Fair Lady...Deliciously scented and in rusty, pastel hues

Biennials can be a mystery to some gardeners so this collection helps! Having them all in one box is a lovely way to get ready for summer sowing! As always, super fresh seeds and great service! Brilliant!
Fabulous selection of Autumn Seeds.
My daughter loves the arrangement in the presentation boxes.
Many kind thanks for the surprise seeds too
Oh my gosh, these seeds are fabulous! Within a week of planting they came up and are forming healthy, bushy plants.
Always reliable.
Always a fabulous addition to the garden.
Excellent seeds, generous amounts and sometimes a wee free gift 😉
I can’t rate these seeds highly enough! Germination was super fast and baby plants are lovely and strong. Looking forward to a flower filled 2023 , and will definitely be ordering lots more goodies from Bbcg x

From the moment the cute seed box arrives at your door, until the seedling pop up to say hello...they never disappoint. I've purchased a few different boxes of seeds and know they'll not be my last! Thank you 🐞🌸

I already have baby craspedia seedlings and can't wait to see them grow. I bought a couple of craspedia plants last year and they produce the most lovely yellow pom poms. They look great dotted in three's around the house and I also use them when I make dried wreaths.

This was gifted to my mum for her birthday and she loves it. You've got everything you need for flower pressing, including all instructions.
Nicely packaged and fast delivery

One of our favourites in the range. Balanced subtle tones, good burn time and will definitely buy again. Matt

Quickly dispatched and delivered. Arrived safely. Nicely labelled clearly with instructions on how to sow. Can’t go wrong. Would definitely order from again.

Arrived on Time and loved the packaging. About to sow some seeds and hopefully for some chillies in Summer

Excellent arrived safely beautifully boxed.
Looking forward to sowing these seeds soon.
Many thanks

Top quality seeds and so beautifully presented - I bought them for myself but it was like receiving a gorgeous gift!

Great service, prompt delivery and beautifully packaged. It was for a gift so not tried them but they look lovely.

I am happy to give a 5 star review for Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Flower and Herb Box.
I loved receiving the beautiful package of seeds, with some dried flowers enclosed and not an ounce of plastic in sight!
All thoughtfully eco friendly wrapped.
The delivery was super quick and I’m working my way through sewing the seeds, on the monthly instructions contained on each packet.
I think any of the seed boxes would make a beautiful gift or why not treat yourself!
I’ll certainly be buying more as I expand my cut flower garden 🌸🐞

Another beautifully presented gift box of seeds delivered quickly and professionally presented. I bought as a gift for a friend who was delighted. I will definitely be back again.

I was so pleased to receive this box of seeds, beautifully presented with a lovely little dried flower to add a special touch, thank you, can’t wait to get started on sowing them .

I can’t rate these seeds highly enough! Germination was super fast and baby plants are lovely and strong. Looking forward to a flower filled 2023 , and will definitely be ordering lots more goodies from Bbcg x
