    Floriography: The Little Box of Love

    In the Victorian era, people didn't send text messages; they sent flowers. This was known as "Floriography"—the Language of Flowers. Every bloom held a specific meaning, allowing friends and lovers to communicate complex feelings without speaking a word.

    The Little Box of Love revives this beautiful tradition. This beautifully presented gift box contains 12 full-sized packets of seeds, each chosen not just for its beauty, but for its specific sentiment. It is the perfect alternative to a fresh bouquet—instead of lasting a week, this gift grows into a whole summer of meaningful beauty.

    🌱 Growing Guide: Simple Success

    This collection is designed to be easy to grow, even for beginners. Most of the seeds included are Hardy Annuals or Biennials.

    When to Sow:
    You can sow most of these seeds directly into the soil in Spring (March-May) for flowers this summer. Alternatively, for stronger plants and earlier flowers next year, sow in Autumn (Sept-Oct).

    Wildlife Friendly:
    Not only do these flowers carry hidden meanings for humans, but they also carry a clear message for nature: "Food Here!" This collection is packed with pollinator-friendly varieties that will fill the garden with bees and butterflies.
