Billy Buttons
Just planting out more of my seedlings. Great germination rate. Can't wait to have a drift of yellow. Will be awesome addition to my native garden.
Billy Buttons
Very good success from sowing the seeds to seedlings, I think every little seed has produced and seedings popped up within 2 weeks. Once seedings approx 10cm I planted direct into ground. I live on the coast and have sandy soil which I think they enjoy. Still waiting for flowers, they have only been in the ground for approx 4 months. We are coming into spring so hopefully some blooms soon for myself and the bees to enjoy.
