Mr Fothergills Mimulus Extra Choice Mixed 2500 Seeds

Mimulus - Extra Choice Mixed

This is an unusual dwarf plant, which is quick to flower, perfect for compact bedding and container plants. Its exotic dappled blooms are happy in part sun or shade, reaching the height of 20cm.

Sow indoors from February to May. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly on the surface of a small tray of pre-watered compost. Place in a warm, light position. A temperature of 15-20°C is ideal. Keep the compost moist. The tray can be covered with cling film to preserve humidity, but remove when seedlings appear, usually in 14-21 days. Transplant them, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, from May to June, 15cm apart, into moist, well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.
