{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-candytuft-crown-mixed","title":"Candytuft Crown Mixed","description":"\u003cp\u003eDense domed clusters of tiny four-petalled flowers in white, soft pink, lavender, ruby-red and violet, on compact mounds of 25 to 30cm. When it is going, the flowers cover the plant so completely that you can barely see a leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the hardy annual that actually does what the packet promises. It germinates readily, tolerates poor dry ground and a bit of shade, and it is close to impossible to fail with, which makes it the one to give a child or anyone who has been put off by a row of nothing. There is a honey scent on a warm afternoon, and the flat clusters bring in butterflies, bees and hoverflies in numbers out of all proportion to the size of the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe honest limitation is that each sowing flowers hard and then stops. Six or seven weeks of heavy bloom, then it sets seed and gives up, which is why a single spring sowing leaves a gap in August. Sow a short row every three or four weeks from March to June and you will have it through to September. It self-seeds gently, and the volunteers tend towards white and pale mauve rather than the reds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195303780685,"sku":"CND-CRW","price":2.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/6BD52C35-41B5-45C1-AC9D-D68FA768B295.jpg?v=1772658863","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-candytuft-crown-mixed","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
