Unwins Nature's Haven - Teasel Winter Bouquet

The teasel plant prefers heavy clay soils which do not dry out in summer. These Dipsacus Teasel seeds are ideal for soil that won't be cultivated for a couple of years. The teasel flower will also attract beneficial insects & bees into the garden.

Key Information:

• Dipsacus Fullonum - Hardy Biennial
• Attracts bees, butterflies & finches
• Striking architectural plant
• Use spent flower heads for flower arrangements

Advice & Tips:

• Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth 10-15°C & keep moist.
• Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm apart into trays of potting compost.
• Gradually accustom plants to outside condition for 2-3 weeks before planting out during summer and autumn. Young plants will then become established before the onset of winter. Allow 30cm between plants.
• Seed can also be sown outdoors in short pre watered shallow rows deep. Lightly cover with a little soil & keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge. Thin them out to 2cm apart when large enough to handle, before transplanting them to their permanent positions in autumn.
