Cottage Garden Mix

Various Species

An unfussy mix for a glorious cottage garden.

Embrace the joyful maximalism of a true cottage garden! This mix is designed to help you create a free-flowing floral fantasy, where blooms spill over paths and mingle in a wild, welcoming, and gloriously overgrown display. It’s a carefully selected blend of cottage garden classics—including Foxglove, Rudbeckia, Daisies, Cosmos, Love in a Mist, Poppies, and Zinnias—that work together to create an ever-changing jungle of flowers. Because each seed is tuned to its own timeline, with some germinating in days and others in weeks, your garden will transform throughout the season into a delightful canopy of color.

To achieve this look of abundant informality, simply scatter the seeds liberally in a spot with partial to full sun. This blend isn't fussy, preferring average soil with fair to good drainage. For a profusion of blooms, be sure the soil is only moderately fertile; excessive nitrogen will favor leaf growth over flowers. Invite in the energy of beautiful chaos and watch as your doorstep is transformed.

Growing instructions
To achieve the abundant, informal look of a classic cottage garden, you can direct sow this mix around your last frost date or start seeds indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in a prepared bed with average, well-drained soil and partial to full sun. Sow them densely to ensure a full appearance and to help suppress weeds. Once seedlings are established, you can thin them to approximately 8 inches apart. It is important to use only moderately fertile soil, as excessive nitrogen will encourage lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Be patient, as this blend is designed for a staggered, ever-changing display; some species will germinate in days, while others will take weeks or longer, creating the beautiful chaos of a true cottage garden.
