The Cutting Patch Beginners Flower Box

You will receive 8 full-sized packets of high-yield seeds:

• 💙 Clary Sage 'Oxford Blue': Stunning upright spikes of intense violet-blue bracts. They last for weeks in a vase and dry beautifully.
• 💜 Corncockle: Tall, slender stems topped with silky, magenta-purple trumpets that sway gracefully in the breeze.
• 🌸 Cosmos 'Sensation Mixed': The ultimate cut flower. Produces hundreds of large, daisy-like blooms in pink, white, and carmine on tall, ferny stems.
• 🎨 Zinnia 'Lilliput Mixed': Cheerful, pompom-shaped flowers in bright primary colours. Sturdy, weather-resistant stems that don't flop.
• 🌾 Briza Maxima (Quaking Grass): Beautiful, heart-shaped locket flowers that tremble on fine stems, adding movement and texture to bouquets.
• ⚪ Calendula 'Snow Princess': A sophisticated twist on the marigold. Creamy-white double blooms with a contrasting dark centre.
• 🌈 Statice 'Mixed': The "forever flower." Papery, vibrant blooms in a mix of colours that hold their shape perfectly when dried.
• 🦓 Malva 'Zebrina': A striking, bushier alternative to hollyhocks, producing soft lilac flowers with distinctive dark purple "zebra" stripes.

This collection is designed for success:

1. When to Sow:
Indoors (March-April): Cosmos, Zinnias, and Statice love a warm start on a windowsill.
Outdoors (April-May): Corncockle, Clary Sage, Briza, Calendula, and Malva can be scattered directly onto the soil where they are to grow.

2. The Golden Rule:
Keep Picking! These plants want to set seed. If you pick the flowers regularly (or deadhead the old ones), they will panic and produce more buds to try again. A regular harvest guarantees a longer season.

Full instructions are on every packet.
