Product Description
Mr Fothergills Natures Helpers Poached Egg Plant Seeds (Limnanthes douglasii) are a reliable and decorative choice for gardeners who want to combine colour with ecological benefits. Part of the Oh Sow Simple range, this hardy annual is well suited to direct sowing and quickly establishes into a low, spreading plant covered in distinctive yellow flowers with crisp white edges.
Ideal for edging paths, filling gaps in borders or planting in containers, Poached Egg Plants perform best in full sun and well-drained soil. Their compact, ground-covering growth makes them especially useful in smaller gardens, while their nectar-rich blooms help support bees and butterflies throughout the flowering season. Regular sowings ensure a continuous display, and autumn sowings often flower earlier the following year.
