Sowing Period

Easy to grow black/purple grass annual. Ideal for borders, beds and patio containers.

Good for the middle of the border and used to show off other plants such as Rudbeckia, will look good for months !

Growing Information

Sow in a heated propogator (20-25C) from February-May in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover seeds with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist. Germination up to 21 days. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into small pots.Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart or into large containers filled with a moisture retaining compost.Note: When they first germinate, plants are often green. They will show purple colouring after about 8 leaves have developed. They become darker once outside.

Sowing Information

Best sown directly in April/May or August where they are to flower. Sow 6mm deep in rows 30cm apart into weed-free, moist, warm soil. Germination up to 21 days, but can be a little slower. Once germinated and seedlings are large enough to handle they can be thinned to 25cm spacing. Seedlings which have been thinned can be replanted. Alternatively, seeds can be started inside in February/March and planted out in May.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
