Pink Summer Flower Mix is a carefully balanced blend of annual flowers in light and deep pink tones, designed to give a romantic, colour‑matched display through the summer months. Plants reach about 80–90 cm in height, making them a natural choice for the middle of borders, loose cottage‑style plantings and informal cutting patches.
The mix combines easy‑to‑grow annuals with different flower forms and staggered flowering times, so the look of the bed changes as the season goes on. Many varieties have long, graceful stems that are perfect for gathering into simple hand‑tied bouquets straight from the garden.
Growing information
🌱 Sowing
-
Sow direct outdoors in spring on a well‑prepared, weed‑free bed; scatter thinly and lightly rake or cover the seed.
-
In Ireland and similar climates, sow from April to June for flowers from mid‑summer into early autumn.
☀️ Light
-
Prefers full sun but will still give a decent display in light partial shade.
💧 Watering
-
Water regularly after sowing and while seedlings establish; then water in dry spells to keep growth steady.
-
Soil should drain freely and not stay waterlogged.
🌡️ Germination
-
Germination is straightforward in normal spring temperatures, with seedlings appearing over roughly 1–3 weeks depending on species and weather.
📏 Spacing & size
-
After emergence, thin where crowded, aiming for about 20–30 cm between plants or small clumps so they can branch and flower well.
-
Mature plants reach around 80–90 cm with a soft, slightly informal habit.
