What's in This Mix
Tall, graceful stems carry large pink and white blooms from summer to frost — a cottage-garden staple for airy bouquets.
Clusters of fragrant pink, rose, and white florets bring classic cottage charm and long vase life. Blooms in its second year.
Elegant spires of blue, purple, and pink add height and old-fashioned romance to the cutting bed. Toxic if eaten.
Soft pastel spikes flower over a long season and are a florist favorite for structure and color in arrangements.
True cornflower-blue blooms are beloved by bees and provide the reliable blue backbone of a pastel bouquet.
Delicate white lace umbels look like refined Queen Anne’s lace, softening bouquets with an airy, romantic filler.
Crepe-paper blooms in soft apricot, pink, and cream are an on-trend cutting flower — sear the stems for lasting vase life.
Soft-rose blooms on long stems are among the easiest cut-and-come-again flowers, blooming more the more you pick.
Flat cream-white flower heads add a delicate filler texture and dry beautifully for everlasting arrangements.
Airy pink blooms along slender stems weave lightly through a bouquet and thrive from a cool-season sowing.
Chartreuse flower heads and feathery foliage add a fresh green filler and light fragrance to hand-tied bouquets.
Fragrant pastel blooms bring old-fashioned scent — pick often to keep them coming. Seeds and pods are not edible.

Why Choose This Seed?
Soft Cottage Pastels
A romantic palette of pink, lavender, blue, white, and cream — the classic cottagecore look for dreamy, gathered-from-the-garden bouquets.
Airy Texture & Fragrance
Lacy bishop’s flower, feathery dill, and fragrant sweet pea add the airy filler and scent that turn a handful of stems into a florist-worthy arrangement.
A Long Cutting Season
Quick annuals plus second-year sweet william stretch the harvest, while tall larkspur and snapdragons add height and old-fashioned drama to the bed.
Pollinator-Friendly
Bees and butterflies love the open, nectar-rich blooms, so your cutting garden feeds pollinators while it fills your vases.
Plant with Care
This mix includes larkspur and sweet pea, which are toxic if eaten, plus bishop’s flower, whose sap can irritate skin. Beautiful in the vase — but keep cuttings and vase water away from children, pets, and livestock (see the full safety note).
Prepare the Site
Pick a sunny spot and clear away weeds and existing grass. Loosen the top inch or two of soil so seed makes good contact. A clean, weed-free bed is the single biggest factor in a strong cutting stand.
Sow the Seeds
Mix the seed with a little dry sand to help spread it evenly, then scatter over the prepared bed at about 1 lb per 2,000 sq ft. Sow at the right time for this mix (see the FAQ above).
Press, Don’t Bury
These seeds need light to germinate. Rake lightly or press the seed into the surface for good soil contact, but don’t cover them deeply — no more than 1/8 inch.
Water and Harvest
Keep the seedbed evenly moist until seedlings establish. Once flowering, cut in the cool of the morning and harvest often — regular cutting keeps cut-and-come-again varieties blooming.
Questions & Answers
Most of these cottage annuals and biennials prefer a cool start. Sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in fall in mild-winter regions — larkspur, bishop’s flower, and poppies especially like cool conditions and even a light frost.
We recommend about 1 lb per 2,000 sq ft. The 0.5 lb size covers about 1,000 sq ft, 1 lb covers about 2,000 sq ft, and 5 lb covers about 10,000 sq ft.
Plant in full sun to light afternoon shade. Most of these pastels want at least 6 hours of sun; a touch of afternoon shade in hot climates helps the softer colors last longer.
Keep the seedbed evenly moist through germination, then give steady, even moisture — this cottage mix likes it a bit richer and moister than a dry-meadow planting. A light mulch between plants holds moisture and keeps stems clean.
The annuals bloom in roughly 65 to 120 days; sweet william is a biennial that blooms in its second year. Cut often and remove spent stems to keep the cut-and-come-again flowers producing all season.
Yes — please plant with care. Rocket larkspur is toxic to people and animals and especially dangerous to cattle — do not plant it where grazing livestock can reach it. Sweet pea seeds and pods are not edible, and bishop’s flower sap can irritate skin in sunlight, so wear gloves when cutting. Keep trimmings and vase water away from children, pets, and grazing animals. If you keep livestock, our fully non-toxic Sunset mix is a safer choice.
