Transform Your Garden with Effortless Annual Colour

Step into a world of vibrant colour with the Flower Garden 'Easy Annuals Mixed' Seed Scatter Pack by Thompson & Morgan. This curated blend brings together ten classic annuals, including borage, cornflowers, flax, marigolds, echium, and mallow—species cherished in English gardens since the Middle Ages.

• Botanical Diversity: The mix features blue cornflowers and echium at its core, contrasted by the fiery red-orange of flax and marigolds and softened by antique pink mallow. Together, these blooms create a visually stunning display from early to late summer.
• Mature Height: Plants grow to a manageable 50–60cm (20–24in), making them ideal for borders, mixed beds, or wildflower corners.
• Easy for All: Designed for simplicity—just scatter seeds onto prepared soil after the last frost. No specialist knowledge needed!
