The Jewel Box Garden contains a collection of eight dazzling flower varieties inspired by precious gem stone colors. Feature the Jewel Box Garden in your landscape and it will sparkle throughout the season. As always, a little extra care will insure you have maximum results from your Instant Flower Garden® product.
Varieties - Amethyst Cup Flower (Nierembergia hippomanica), Citrine Yellow Scented Stock (Matthiola incana), Emerald Bells of Ireland (Moluccella laevis), Pink Diamond Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus), Sapphire California Bluebell (Phacelia campanularia), Tanzanite Ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum), Tourmaline Zinnia (Zinnia elegans). and Yellow Topaz Calendula (Calendula officinalis).
General Installation & Watering - Simply roll out the seeded mat on prepared loosened soil and water liberally. See Garden Basics for more detailed instructions, soil preparation essentials, and other helpful tips.
Special Considerations - If you prefer, customize your garden. It is so easy. Using scissors, cut the seeded mat roll into any size or shape desired. Use a cut section to fill a window box or other container.
Where to Plant - Full to partial sun.
What I Can Expect - The Instant Flower Garden® Jewel Box Garden plants will germinate in 1 to 3 weeks depending upon conditions and soil temperature. Patience is necessary in this phase. Cool evenings and overcast days can delay germination. Then, after the second set of leaves unfold, some thinning may be necessary to avoid crowding and allow for stronger mature plants. Expect the Jewel Box Garden flowers to grow to a height of 8 to 36 inches and continue blooming throughout the season.
Be sure to see Garden Basics for more helpful tips and techniques.
In order to achieve optimal growing conditions, it is best to plant this product after the last frost of Spring 2008.
