Moles Seeds
Throw to Grow Little Carpet Multicolour (RHA002)
This product is only available in an untreated format.
Great ground covering capacity for borders and stony ground. The widest and most interesting range of annual varieties.
Sowing Rate
In most cases, a density of between 2 and 6 grams per square metre is sufficient. An area that cannot be watered, has very stony or capping soil and is sown early (therefore at a relatively low temperature) will require a greater seed density than a plot of good soil with access to irrigation.
Ground Preparation
Weeding must be carried out before and after sowing. It is not possible to sow into established lawns, meadows, etc. The seeds must be lightly covered by soil in order to germinate. It is best to cultivate the soil to prepare a fine deep seedbed. Before sowing, mix the seeds well with sand or vermiculite (3/4 of the overall weight). Throughout the entire sowing process, whether manual or mechanised, continue to mix the seeds well for a homogenous distribution. After sowing, use a rake to cover the seeds lightly with soil, then water well to aid germination. Over the first few weeks, water if possible to keep the soil moist and to encourage germination.
When to sow
Throw to Grow is usually sown from the end of April to the beginning of June (depending upon the location), when the soil is sufficiently warm and moist for the seeds to germinate.
After Care
Throw to Grow requires significantly less management than bedding plants. Fertilisers and pesticides are not needed and demand is low for water. It is important however to remove weeds when visible.
