Sowing instructions

Sowing joy (cosmea)

You can sow the seeds outside from the end of May, as soon as there is no longer a chance of night frost. Make sure the sowing soil is moist. You can place two seeds per hole in the soil and press gently. The cosmea has few requirements regarding soil type, but make sure it is in a sunny position with some shelter from the wind. Provide the emerging plants with sufficient water during germination and during drought. Attractive to bees and butterflies.

Sowing power (chamomile)

Sowing chamomile is easy. Sow the seeds in the ground or in a flower pot for your balcony or terrace. This is possible from March. Chamomile likes a sunny spot. Scatter the seeds over the loose soil. They don't have to go deep into the ground, just press lightly is enough. If the plants grow too close together, it is best to dig them out and replant them 30 cm apart to give them enough space. Attractive to bees.

Dromen zaaien (slaapbol)

Zaaien kan in het najaar, omdat de zaden goed tegen vorst kunnen en overwinteren. Maar voor de bloei, nog in hetzelfde jaar, zaai je ze vanaf april tot half juni. De plant krijgt prachtige bloemen die ruim 10 cm groot kunnen worden. Zodra de bloemen zijn uitgebloeid komen er mooie zaaddozen voor in de plaats. Kies voor het zaaien een plek met veel zon en zorg ervoor dat de aarde kaal is en omgewoeld. Het is een eenjarig soort die zo’n 90 cm hoog wordt.

Hoogte: 90 - 110 cm

Bewondering zaaien (zonnebloem)

Je kunt zonnebloemen begin maart binnen voorzaaien. Vanaf begin april en mei zaai je de zaadjes direct op een zonnig plekje in de tuin en heb je in augustus al prachtig bloeiende zonnebloemen. Stop het zaadje ongeveer 2 cm in de grond, schep wat aarde erover en geef het water. De zonnebloem groeit makkelijk maar zorg wel dat hij de hoogte in kan. Hij is heliotropisch, wat betekent dat de bloem meedraait met het licht van de zon. Daarnaast zijn deze zonnige bloemen ook nog eens aantrekkelijk voor vogels.

Hoogte: 100 - 400 cm

Vrijheid zaaien (korenbloem)

Om vroeg in de zomer te kunnen genieten van de korenbloem kan je de zaden al vanaf maart binnen voorzaaien. Van april tot mei kan je ze buiten zaaien. Zaai minstens 1 cm diep, want het zaad kiemt alleen wanneer het donker is. De korenbloem houdt van licht en zon. Strooi de zaden gelijkmatig uit over de grond en sproei na met water. Daarmee worden de zaden beschermd en zullen de vogels de zaden minder snel opeten.

Hoogte: 80 cm
