Clouds of soft pink blooms dance above slender stems, creating an airy, romantic display that flowers for months on end. A favourite for cottage gardens and florists alike, producing masses of delicate flowers that flutter beautifully in the breeze.
 
When to Sow: Aug/Sep & Feb-May

HOW TO SOW SAPONARIA:
Sow seeds thinly on the surface of moist compost in trays or modules, as light helps trigger germination. Cover very lightly with a fine layer of vermiculite or compost, just enough to keep the seed in place. Keep at 15–20°C and water gently to avoid washing seeds away. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, pot on or harden off before planting out after the last frost.
