{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-linum-bright-eyes","title":"Linum Bright Eyes","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarge silky white saucers, about three centimetres across, each with a dark scarlet eye at the centre. It is a simple flower and the contrast does all the work; a drift of them reads as a white carpet flecked with red from right across a garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the perennial flax, each flower lasts a single day, opening in the morning and gone by evening, replaced by a fresh flush the next morning. That runs from June through September, so the display is continuous even though nothing on the plant is more than a day old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the easiest hardy annuals there is, but only if you sow it where it is to grow. It resents transplanting and a moved plant sulks. Direct sow March to May, or in September for stronger, earlier plants the following year, and thin to about 20 or 25cm. Grow it in a group: at 30 to 45cm the plants are open and airy and a single one looks like very little, while twenty together is where the effect is. Lean, well-drained soil in full sun. If you cut it, cut in tight bud and let it open in water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54828185092429,"sku":"LIN-GBE","price":2.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/IMG_5322_70a43fcb-843b-4cab-bd62-4466020f0cd0.jpg?v=1790284742","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-linum-bright-eyes","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
