Thompson & Morgan Linum Bright Eyes 300 seed

Pretty, pure white flowers with dark burgundy centres make a truly stunning sight when sown in drifts through a sunny border or in a traditional cottage garden planting scheme. These lovely linum will also attract bees and other beneficial pollinating insects to your garden.

Sow outdoors where they are to flower once the soil has warmed. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sprinkle the seed thinly over the surface then rake lightly to ensure seed is covered. Alternatively, sow 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in drills, 30cm (12in) apart. Germination usually takes 14-21 days.
