The Timeless Collection

Trends come and go, but some flowers never go out of style. 'The Timeless Collection' is a curated box of the five most essential, beloved flowers that form the backbone of a traditional English cottage garden. These are the varieties our grandparents grew—chosen for their reliability, their effortless charm, and their ability to fill a border with romance and history.

This collection moves beyond fleeting fashions to focus on "heirloom" beauty. From the towering majesty of Hollyhocks to the delicate lace of Ammi, these plants have stood the test of time for a reason. Whether you are starting a new border from scratch or gifting a slice of nostalgia to a loved one, this box provides the perfect foundation for a garden that feels like it has been there forever.

📦 What's in the Box? (5 Packets)

You will receive 5 full-sized packets of our absolute favourite classic seeds:

  • 🏰 Hollyhock: The quintessential cottage giant. Majestic, tall spires that add instant height and drama to the back of a border.
  • 🔵 Cornflower: The icon of the English summer. Beautiful, electric-blue flowers that are loved by bees and perfect for cutting.
  • 🌸 Larkspur: A graceful, vertical accent. Produces tall spikes of delphinium-like flowers in soft shades, adding elegance to any patch.
  • ❄️ Ammi Majus: The romantic filler. Clouds of white, lacy umbels that weave through the other plants, softening the whole display.
  • 💙 Nigella (Love-in-a-mist): A dual-purpose treasure. First, a haze of blue flowers in ferny foliage, followed by architectural seed pods.

🌱 Growing Guide: Simple Success

This box is designed to be easy to grow, mixing two simple plant groups:

1. The Hardy Annuals (Cornflower, Larkspur, Ammi, Nigella):
These are the "sprinkle and grow" seeds. You can sow them directly into the soil in Spring (March-May) for flowers this summer, or in Autumn (Sept) for early flowers next year.

2. The Biennial (Hollyhock):
These play the long game. Sow them in Summer (June-July). They will grow leaves this year and send up their towering flower spikes next summer.

Full sowing instructions are printed on each individual packet.
