SENSATION 7sqm FLOWER

Planting Nova-Flore Sensation Flower Mix (7 sqm)

• Product overview: Nova-Flore Sensation is a colourful flower seed mix designed to create a vibrant, long-lasting display over approximately 7 square metres. The mix typically contains a blend of easy-to-grow annual flowers selected for strong colour, extended flowering, and visual impact.

• When to sow:

  • Sow outdoors from April to May, once the risk of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed.

  • In milder areas, sowing can continue into early June for later flowering.

• Site selection:

  • Choose a sunny, open position for best results.

  • Most flowering annuals in mixed seed blends perform best in full sun.

• Soil preparation:

  • Prepare a fine, crumbly seedbed by removing weeds, stones, and debris.

  • Lightly cultivate the soil to a depth of 15–20cm.

  • Avoid overly rich soil, as excessive fertility can lead to leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

• Sowing method:

  • Mix seed with dry sand to help distribute it evenly.

  • Scatter seed thinly and evenly over the prepared area.

  • Lightly rake to cover the seed with a thin layer of soil.

• Firming and watering:

  • Gently firm the soil using a rake or board to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

  • Water carefully using a fine spray to avoid washing seed away.

Ongoing Care and Maintenance

• Watering:

  • Keep soil consistently moist during germination, which usually takes 7–21 days depending on conditions.

  • Once established, water during prolonged dry spells to support continuous flowering.

• Thinning:

  • If seedlings emerge very densely, thin lightly to prevent overcrowding.

  • Good spacing improves airflow, plant health, and overall flower quality.

• Feeding:

  • Generally, additional feeding is not required.

  • If growth appears weak, a light application of a balanced liquid fertiliser can be used sparingly.

• Weed control:

  • Remove weeds carefully while seedlings are young.

  • Once established, the flower mix will naturally suppress many weeds.

• Supporting growth:

  • Taller flowers may benefit from the support of surrounding plants.

  • In very exposed sites, wind protection may improve plant performance.

• Pests and problems:

  • Mixed flower displays are generally low maintenance.

  • Slugs and snails may damage young seedlings, especially in damp weather.

  • Good spacing and airflow help reduce fungal disease risk.

Flowering, Aftercare, and Reseeding

• Flowering period:

  • Nova-Flore Sensation typically flowers from early summer through to autumn, depending on sowing time and weather.

  • A wide range of colours and flower forms provides ongoing interest.

• Encouraging continuous bloom:

  • Remove faded flowers where possible to encourage repeat flowering.

  • In larger areas, leaving some flowers to self-seed can add natural variation.

• End-of-season care:

  • Allow plants to finish naturally at the end of the season.

  • Seed heads can be left in place for wildlife or collected for saving seed.

• Reseeding:

  • Some varieties within the mix may self-seed lightly for the following year.

  • For consistent results, resowing fresh seed each spring is recommended.

• Soil improvement:

  • After flowering, clear spent plants and lightly cultivate the soil.

  • Adding compost improves soil structure for future planting.

• Garden uses:

  • Ideal for borders, unused beds, new garden areas, or temporary colour displays.

  • Works well in wildlife-friendly gardens and informal planting schemes.

• Maintenance level:

  • Designed to be low effort, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced gardeners.

Nova-Flore Sensation is an easy and effective way to create a bold, colourful flower display over 7 square metres, rewarding simple soil preparation and regular watering with months of vibrant blooms and garden interest
