How to Seed Fragrant Flowers Mix

1. Best Time to Sow (Gulf Region):

   • Outdoors: From October to February, when daytime temperatures are between 15–25°C (59–77°F).

   • Avoid sowing during April to September, as high Gulf heat and humidity reduce germination and fragrance intensity.

   • For continuous blooms, sow in small batches every 3–4 weeks during the cool season.

2. Sowing Depth:
   Sow seeds 0.5–1 cm deep, depending on seed size.
   Cover lightly with fine soil or compost and mist gently with water.

3. Soil:
   Prefers fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
   Ideal Gulf mix: 40% garden soil + 30% compost + 20% peat moss + 10% perlite.
   Keep soil evenly moist during germination, but never waterlogged.

4. Light & Temperature:

   • Germination temperature: 18–22°C (64–72°F).

   • Requires full sun for best flowering and fragrance.

   • In hotter Gulf regions, provide light afternoon shade to protect delicate flowers.

5. Germination Time:
   Seeds germinate in 10–20 days, depending on the varieties in the mix.

6. Transplanting & Spacing:

   • Can be sown directly in the garden or in large pots.

   • If started in trays, transplant seedlings when they reach 5–7 cm tall.

   • Space plants 20–25 cm apart for healthy air circulation and full blooming.

7. Growing Tips for Gulf Climate:

   • Sunlight: Full sun in winter and early spring; partial shade in late spring when temperatures exceed 30°C.

   • Watering: Water regularly but moderately — maintain moist soil during growth and flowering.

   • Feeding: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3–4 weeks to support strong growth and enhance scent.

   • Maintenance:

     • Remove faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

     • Light pruning helps plants stay compact and extend flowering time.

   • The Fragrant Flowers Mix typically includes species like Sweet Alyssum, Stocks, Phlox, Matthiola, and Dianthus, producing beautifully scented blooms in a range of colors.

   • Ideal for borders, balconies, and decorative pots.

   • Blooms from late winter to early summer in the Gulf.
