Vintage Rose Meadow Seed Collection

A delicate yet heart-stopping mix of dark and seashell pinks. The large papery petals have etched rims, floating on medium height, bright green stems. All the best colours to sow in a drift for a river of delight.

‘Pandora’ is a double-flowered beauty, with papery petals of dusky seashell pink to powdery rose and dark cerise. Pandora is easy to grow and a serious source of joy in the garden.

Hurray for this annual form of phlox! It’s quick to flower from seed-grown seedlings and can be used in the border like a bedding plant, in pots and in the cutting garden The plants bush out as they grow and produce clusters of lovely flowers. ‘Crème Brulee’ has flowers from coffee cream to peach and raspberry with a lovely scent mix, it with other phlox for a profusion of loveliness.

Corncockle ‘Light Rose’ is a delicate shell-pink beauty. Once seen more commonly in flower meadows but now we grow it in our gardens. It’s easy to sow and grow, and I love it en masse for soft and airy clouds of bobbing flowers.
