Sustainability

We try to produce as sustainably as possible to keep our footprint small. Therefore, our letterbox boxes are made of grass paper and tomato leaf pulp is the basic component of the seed bags. The printing is either made of paper that is 30-70% recycled paper or paper that comes from agricultural waste. In addition, you have the option to plant a tree when you place an order through Regreener.

Sowing pansies? Yes definitely, and they are even more fun to sow than buying them in the winter! Viola 'Frizzle Sizzle Burgundy' has a funny frayed edge and a deep purple color with red undertones. If you keep removing the spent flowers, the plant will continue blooming into late summer.

Indoor pre-seeding
Sow in spring for same-year flowers, or sow in fall for winter flowers. Use a mixture of 90/10 potting soil versus sand, which gives a very airy mixture in which the seeds germinate well. Place the seeds on top of the mixture and cover little to no. The seeds preferably germinate in a warm room above 20 degrees. If the seeds do not germinate immediately, they may "sleep" but emerge at a later time. If after four weeks still no seedling appears you can put the seedling tray in the refrigerator for another month. Take it out again and the seeds will still germinate. Repot when they are bigger than 10 cm.

Direct seeding
Sowing directly into the ground often has no effect. We recommend always using the above method. Place pansies in partial shade or sun, as long as they are not too hot. Remove spent flowers to encourage re-blooming.


Which is what?

The terms may be new to you, here's what they all mean:

Annual- plants that bloom one summer and then die
Biennial- plants that you sow one year, and bloom the next year (and then die)
Perennial- plants that bloom several summers
Perennial- plants that survive frost and last for years

How many hours of sunshine?

Annuals plants almost without exception grow only in full sun. That means that you preferably need more than 8 hours of summer sun in the place where you want to grow them, for example from 10 - 18 hours. 6 - 7 hours will also go a long way, but the plants will grow just a little slower.

What soil?

Unless otherwise specified, annuals want nutrient-rich soil with extra compost in the spring. Read more about it in the Seed Guide.

Storing seeds

On the package of your seeds you will find the shelf life. You can use them until the date you see on it. An opened package is best stored in an airtight box in a cool and dark place, such as a closet in the hallway. Not sure if the germination is still good? Then it's best to buy a new pack. We deliberately choose small amounts of seeds in the packs so you don't have to waste seeds. Do you have any questions about this? Call 033 - 202 43 38 or email to [email protected], and we will help you further.
