Country Bouquet Flowers Seed Packet

Country Bouquet Flowers Seed Packet Vilmorin (Reference: 5859542) represents the excellence of the Vilmorin brand in flower seed. This carefully selected mix of country species offers an exceptional palette of colour for all lovers of gardening and natural flower arrangements.

Benefits and uses

This country flower mix is aimed at gardeners wanting to create natural, colourful spaces with a minimum of effort. Perfect for beginners and experts alike, it quickly brings flowers to borders, beds and neglected areas of the garden. Landscape professionals appreciate it for its ease of use and its resistance to variable conditions.

The main use remains making home-made country bouquets. Thanks to the diversity of the species included, you have a continuous source of fresh flowers for your arrangements from summer until the first autumn frosts. This economical solution advantageously replaces the regular purchase of bouquets from the florist.

Technical features and composition

The Vilmorin mix includes several flower species selected for their complementary flowering and their colour harmony. The average height of 50cm offers an ideal development for cutting and for landscape aesthetics. This size also allows good stem hold in a bouquet without the need for staking.

Adaptability to all soil types is a major asset of this selection. Whether your ground is clay, sandy, chalky or slightly acid, these hardy species flourish naturally. This exceptional tolerance considerably reduces the need for soil improvers and makes success easy even for novice gardeners.

The flowering period spread from summer to autumn results from the judicious combination of species with staggered flowering cycles. This planning ensures a continuous production of fresh flowers over several months, thus maximising the initial investment in seed.

Planting and growing

Sowing is ideally done in spring, as soon as the risk of night frosts has passed. Prepare the soil by light digging and raking to obtain a fine, level surface. Broadcast sow, mixing the seeds with fine sand to make an even spread easier.

Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of sieved soil, then firm gently with the back of the rake. Watering with a fine rose keeps the moisture needed for germination without displacing the seeds. The first seedlings generally appear within 10 to 21 days depending on the weather.

Care is limited to a few waterings in dry spells and the occasional removal of the most invasive weeds. Once established, these country flowers show excellent independence and need no plant-protection treatment.

Expert tips and garden synergies

To maximise the production of cut flowers, cut regularly, which stimulates the appearance of new flower stems. Cut early in the morning when the stems are full of sap, and put the stems in fresh water immediately to preserve their freshness.

Combine this mix with other Multitanks products such as organic fertilisers to enrich your soil naturally, or Gardena watering systems to maintain optimal moisture in summer. Bamboo stakes can also prove useful in windy areas.

Seasonal tip: plan several staggered sowings 3-4 weeks apart to extend the flowering period and ensure continuous production of bouquets. This professional technique guarantees a constant supply of fresh flowers.

Avoid excess nitrogen fertiliser, which would favour foliage at the expense of flowering. These hardy species prefer moderately fertile soils, which stimulate their reproductive instinct through abundant flower formation.
