The Power of Biennials with Sarah Raven and Arthur Parkinson - Episode 74
Description
It’s the time of year to sow biennials, and while they flower in their second year, the artisanal avalanche of colour that they bring is well worth the wait.
Many of the gorgeous biennials that earn a place as Sarah & Arthur’s favourites will self-sow too, so join us on ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ to venture through these beautiful biennials, from the subtle, fragrant Pillowtalk to more eye catching Tulips like Amazing Parrot.
In this episode, discover:
- Varieties of biennial flowers for floods of colour and fragrance
- Advice on best using liquid seaweed feed, particularly for hungrier plants
- How sowing biennials from seed gives you a staggering impact compared to planting from seedlings
- Which flowers are happiest on poor soil, perfect for new builds or areas with paving
