AnnuAl FlOwers
Annuals last for one growing season.
Many are started early indoors while others are directly sown outside. As
young seedlings grown indoors are very delicate, they need to be toughened
up (a process known as hardening off) before they are transplanted outside.
After five to eight days of hardening off, seedlings should be ready for planting
out. To be safe, do not transplant outside until after the last spring frost date
has come and gone as exposure to cold and frost can be deadly for young
seedlings

The Pelleted Seed Advantage -
Our tiny seeds such as petunias are pelleted to aid
handling. The pellet is a harmless clay coating that
dissolves on contact with water. Please make sure the seed
coating completely dissolves by liberally misting at sowing.
Germination may not occur if any coating remains.

All Wave varieties have their
seed coated (i.e., they are ‘pelleted’) for easier handling. The

pinching and a single plant can
spread to 1.5 m (4’) across and
hugs the ground at only 15 cm
(6") tall. Colourful 5-7.5cm (23") blooms smother the plants.

Did you know...
A natural way to lower soil pH
is to apply early in the spring,
liberal amounts of sulphur
dust. Work in well by
cultivating to a depth of 6
inches. Modifying soil pH is a
long term commitment. This is
especially true in alkaline soils
with high pH derived from
limestone. You will need to reapply the sulphur year after
year. It’s a good idea to test
your soil pH before and after
applications of sulphur to
guide your efforts.
6015 - Corn Poppy - FLANDER'S FIELD
POrTulACA
(Portulaca grandiflora)
10000 s/g
Here’s the plant you need when
the sun is hot and the summers
long. In mid to late May, seed
can be scattered directly on the
ground and barely covered with
soil. For a jump on the season,
start seed indoors 6-8 weeks
before planting outside in late
May. Leave the seed uncovered
on the growing medium and
maintain a temperature of 26C
(75F) for the 7-14 day germination period. Grow on at a cooler
temperature of 18C (62F) until
transplanting outside after hardening off. In hot areas where
many other plants languish,
these feisty, low growing,
spreading plants will carpet an
otherwise blasé area in brilliant
colours all summer long. Now
you’re ready. Bring on the heat!

Growing tip...
If you find your portulaca plants
show promising flower buds but
never seem to bloom, check for
chipmunks. These attractive
rodents consume the flower
buds as an excellent source of
moisture during summer
droughts.

6123 - Strawflower MIXED COLOURS
Did you know...
Country gardeners can take
advantage of a bale or two of
straw for a wonderful garden
mulch. It helps suppress
weeds, hold soil moisture and
reduces splashing of mud on
lettuce and other leafy crops.
Sunflowers generally are well behaved, sturdy and dependable. Attention to a few details will
guarantee spectacular results:
1 - Watering. Sunflowers are well adapted to droughty conditions but perform even better with
weekly, deep irrigation. Avoid light sprinkling.
2 - Re-enforcement. Tall varieties of sunflowers can be staked to help avoid toppling over after the
flowers form seeds. This is especially important with large flowering varieties.
3 - Fertilizing. Avoid fertilizing seedlings as they are very sensitive to fertilizer salts. Apply fertilizer
once the sunflowers have sprouted their second set of leaves.

Irregular watering can cause
annual flowering plants to
drop their emerging flower
buds prematurely.
Please note:
Glad bulbs shipped
only after danger of
frost. To cover the
additional postage, a
$3.95 charge is
included in the price.
(Gladiolus communis)
Gladiolus bulbs are technically
not ‘bulbs.’ They are ‘corms’,
which have the characteristics
of bulbs. Plant corms out into
the garden after all danger of
frost has past. Deep cultivation
too near the roots breaks off the
new roots and slows up growth.
Irrigation is essential for growing Gladiolus successfully. Rain
seldom supplies enough moisture. Start watering when the
new foliage emerges. Water if
there has been less than 1” (2.5
cm) of rain in the week.
Gladiolus bulbs will not survive
winter in most of Canada. You
can keep the bulbs from year to
year by lifting the new corms
after the first autumn frost.
Rinse off excessive soil from
the corms and air dry. Store the
corms smothered in peat moss
somewhere cool, dark & frost
free.

them to grow. Select a sunny
