Growing the seeds of love

If you've been missing that interstate or faraway friend in 2020 why not send them an old-fashioned snail-mail card with an extra thoughtful pretty Forget Me Not seeds.

Forget-me-nots are sweet, tiny blue cottage garden flowers that hold sentimental feelings for many. You'll want to get out the camera macro lens to as butterflies and bees start to show up in your secret garden.

Forget-me-nots are a good self-seeder. That means that after the flowers are spent the seeds will simply regerminate in your garden next season. If you'd rather keep your bouquet in a bunch cottage-like format, simply snip those flowers after their brilliant colour has faded. It's all about paying attention to nature.

Where to grow your Forget-Me-Not seeds

Grow your forget-me-knots under trees, in flower beds or they look stunning as a contrast against rock gardens.

When should you sow your seeds?

Easy to grow, Forget-Me-Not seeds can be sown in part shade and are equally as happy in pots or in the garden. They require minimal care.  Sow in good quality soil in summer and autumn at a depth of 3mm. Flowers will bloom in late winter and early spring.

Each card features original artwork by Daniella Germain and includes a packet of mixed seeds, a tear-away biodegradable plant label, an envelope for mailing and sowing instructions.

With its ORIGENS range, Perfumaria Phebo transports you to the Sicilian islands.  Limao Siciliano or Sicilian Lemon, Eau de Cologne. is Inspired by the charming hills of Sicily that stretch from Mount Etna to the sea and are distinguished by bright yellow and the scent of Sicilian lemon. 

Lemons were brought by the Arabs to Sicily in the 10th century and used initially as an ornamental plant in Islamic gardens. The land around Mount Etna, the Mediterranean climate, sunny hot days and cold nights, coupled with volcanic soil, gives the Sicilian lemon a typical sweetness and taste that is very difficult to find anywhere else in the world. 

Used for centuries in fine perfumery, the lemon's citrus notes convey the effervescent freshness of unforgettable Mediterranean afternoons. Hence why a trip to Sicily, tasting Antonio Carluccio's favourites such as granita and limoncello creates a sensorial experience like no other and remains with you forever. Luckily, with Phebo's ORIGENS line of 200ml colognes you can relive that sensory experience often, without the cost of a plane ticket.
