Planting Instructions
How to Plant Mixed Love in the Mist
When to Plant Love in the Mist Seeds
Direct sow seeds in the Spring when soil temperatures reach a consistent 60°of. In milder climates (Zones 8 and higher) fall planting is an option as well.
Where to Plant Love in the Mist Seeds
Choose well-draining soil in Full Sun conditions for Love in a Mist and Love in the Puff seeds, though they can also tolerate Partial Shade. These varieties are also a great choice when planting for borders, or to fill in bare spots in the garden.
How to Plant Love in the Mist Seeds
Ensure soil has a fine consistency when sowing your seeds. sSw directly onto the surface of the soil and compress, but do not cover, These seeds require sunlight to germinate. Germination can take between 14-20 days. Because of their long taproot, Love in a Mist and Love in the Puff do not transplant well, Direct sowing of these seeds is the best method.
How to Care for Love in the Mist
Once established, Love in a Mist and Love in the Puff require little care. Even deadheading isn't a necessity as the seedpods have aesthetic qualities and are part of the plants' charm. They are prolific reseeders though, so if you wish to prevent the spread of seeds, you can certainly deadhead once flowers fade.

Review
love in a mist
Can't say enough good things about Eden Brothers. They are my lifetime go to seed company. Bought a large amount of Love in a Mist to give as wedding guests gifts. They arrived and the seeds inside the mailer had opened. When I told customer service what happened and how I couldn't salvage the seeds inside the mailer...they sent me out a new patch and arrived within days ( and well before the wedding). They wanted to know how much I thought was lost and then shipped twice as much as I asked for! Now that is customer service!!
Review
NIGELA LOVE IN THE MIST SEEDS
These seeds were a freebie, which is always nice.
I will be planting them during the next week and we're looking forward to seeing them in bloom this summer.
Me mam used to have the standard 'blue' ones in her garden year-after-year ( since they're notorious at building up a seedback and naturalising ).
I've never grown them myself, but they're a perfect summer annual and we'll just let them naturalise--only we have an assortment of blue and violet shades, which is even better, since our back garden is a complete study in pink, blue and lavender from spring until fall.
Thank you.
