Seed collection slowflower garden

Set of 8 seed bags

The Slowflower-movement represents the sustainable, regional and seasonal cultivation of flowers for bouquets. In our opinion: The best slow flowers are flowers harvested in your own garden!
Even in a small space you can achieve wonderful results for beautiful bouquets.

For a perfect bunch of flowers it’s ideal to not only have big and impressive blooms but also accompanying flowers and filling. We have considered all of this in the composition of our themed gardens.

Sunflower 'Hella'

• A lot of small sunflowers
• Lasts well in a vase
• Cut diagonally when the first petals unfold

Cosmos

• A beautiful mixture of pink and white flowers
• Grows in any soil that isn’t too strongly fertilised
• We recommend cutting them when the buds are showing colour but haven’t opened yet

Zinnia 'Sommer in Orange'

• Wonderful, warm summer colours
• Will flower until the first night time frost
