Fabulous biennials! Gorgeous, nostalgic, and often scented, these flowers are completely perfect for a relaxed, cottage-style type of planting and are a total game changer if you want to extend your flowering season.
A little sowing in midsummer will give you a head start in the flower garden and will provide you with blooms from early spring until your autumn-sown annuals burst into life and the baton is passed on. Biennials are also invaluable to bees who are about early in the year, providing much-needed nourishment.
I used to have a hard time understanding biennials. Why would you want to sow something that sounded as though it would take two years to flower? Where's the fun in that?!
But actually, all it means is that you sow in midsummer to flower the following spring—no hardship at all!
In fact, sowing seeds and knowing you have next year's spring flowers underway will fill you with quiet satisfaction, and then when they spring into life early in the season and you are immersed in colour, scent, and happiness, you'll be so glad you took a little time in June to sow them.
This beautiful box contains 8 gorgeous biennial varieties to make your garden sing in the spring
Contents:
🐞Foxgloves: Adding elegance with tall spires of elegant flowers
🐞Sweet William: A lovely old-fashioned flower which will bloom for months
🐞Forget-me-nots: old fashioned loveliness in traditional blue
🐞Hesperis Purple: Fabulous and scented, Hesperis lasts well in a vase, and the bees adore it.
🐞Canterbury Bells: Fairy tale style, bell-shaped flowers in purple, pink, and white.
🐞Honesty: The flower that keeps on giving! First up the enchanting purple and white early flowers, followed by (if left to go to seed) the magical, translucent seed pods to use in dried flower arrangements.
🐞Hollyhock: The quintessential cottage garden flower. Tall, statuesque and full of nostalgic gorgeousness
🐞Wallflowers: Pretty and deliciously scented

Let customers speak for us
Seeds germinated within a week of sewing. Very pleased with the quality. The shop is lovely to navigate, prices are very reasonable and overall service is 100%.
I am definitely a satisfied customer and have been back and bought more seeds
Love the seeds from Bishy B - great selection. Lovely packaging and fast delivery. Melanie is lovely - thank you
Excellent germination and such a good little company to buy from 😊
The seeds have germinated perfectly, first time with dahlias so very pleased 😀
All seeds are growing beautifully. I bought seeds from other BIG flower company, only 3 growing from 30. So I'll buy my seeds here in the future
My seed order was packed well and arrived swiftly..
Iv just planted the seeds out and I’m hopeful for a lovely display next year
Excellent seeds, speedy delivery
I have ordered many seeds from this website, the delivery is reasonable and so are the seeds. I get fantastic germination and am no expert. I have tried other seed companies and nothing compares. This is a very safe bet and one that you won’t regret.
Completely a beginner but they have germinated after a couple of days and seedlings seem to be coming along nicely, very healthy and happy little plants … seeds came in addition to sow a long package and all beautifully presented … will be a repeat customer
These were gorgeous . Presents for both my mum and daughter and they loved them! They smelt fabulous. Thank you 😊
I’ve made 3 orders with bishy barnabees cottage garden so far (spending between £20-30 each time) and every time the seeds have been dispatched quickly. For a small business getting my order within a week is excellent! Ive had amazing rate of germination on every species of seed I’ve sown. The young plants are all healthy and look likely to become healthy adult plants by summer. I’ve interacted with the owner on social media too and can honestly say she’s lovely!
Last year I grew lots of fantastic corncockle, but this will be the first time I've tried Bianca.
There's always so many amazing seeds/flowers to choose from at Bishybarnabees Cottage Garden. Delivered swiftly and hugely successful germination 🌱🥰🌱
Sowed the Dahlia Seeds last week - (in a suitable Pot on the Kitchen Window Sill - which serves as my greenhouse) the sturdy little Dahlia seeds were through in two days and are looking very healthy and happy! Obviously very fresh seeds in the packet.
The Sanctuary wax melts have a lovely spa fragrance that lasts for ages. Loved them so much I ordered more. I haven't tried the lemon and ginger yet. Excellent quality and service.
Beautifully packaged & illustrated. Will be planted next year and I’m confident they will germinate easily as Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Seeds are reliable.
