When to Plant in the UAE

• Outdoors: Direct sow seeds throughout September.
• Best results: Plant during the transition into the cooler growing season, when temperatures begin to moderate.
• Avoid: Peak summer heat, as extreme temperatures can reduce germination and stress young seedlings.

Planting & Care Tips

• Light & Soil: Grow in full sun in fertile, loose, well-draining soil enriched with compost and organic matter.
• Depth & Germination: Scatter seeds evenly over prepared soil and press them gently into the surface. Cover lightly with approximately 0.2–0.5 cm of soil. Germination time varies depending on the species included in the mix.
• Spacing: Spread seeds evenly to prevent overcrowding. Thin dense areas after seedlings emerge to improve airflow and plant development.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early growth. Once established, water according to weather conditions and the needs of the different plants in the mix.
• Feeding: Add compost before planting if the soil is poor. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
• Flowering: Different varieties will flower at different times, creating a succession of colorful blooms throughout the growing season.
• Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or allow some plants to produce seeds for natural reseeding.
• Pollinators: The diverse flowers can provide nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
