Miracle Gro Flower Magic

I saw this last year - and was tempted to purchase some.

It looks like a simple and convenient way to plant up a border, does anyone have any experience of using this product?

I'd like to use it to brighten up the front garden - it just looks so dull.

I tried seed disks last year and they weren't particularly successful.

Thanks,
Chris

 

Hi Chris
so this MG is seeds plus feed that you can just spread on a flower bed. Now lots of people do sow seeds straight into a bed . I have difficulty with this . I prepare the bed , de weed it and feed it . Sow the seeds... then the problems begin when they germinate . never sure which are flowers and which are weeds

I recently bought some Westland Gro Sure Easy Flowers (with Pheasant's Eye, Calendula, Chrysanthemum, Cornflower, Coreopsis, Californian Poppy, Linum, Maltese Cross and Miniature Sunflowers) from Costco which was MUCH cheaper than Miracle Gro Flower Magic.

I think I paid between £7 and £10 for a huge 4.8 kg box but don't quote me on that cos I can't find the receipt!

Not used it before though, so can't vouch for how it works.

 

Hi there, I bought this in the pink/white variety last year. You just shake and spread. It does work and there were loads of really pretty flowers that went on for ages, but as HarryS said, it's impossible to tell when they're growing like mad which of them are weeds. If you can cope with that, I would say it's a good buy.

 

I have used it before. I think it is like a wild meadow, which I quite like
Anything that looked weed like, I plucked out.

The flowers and colours change throughout its flowering period. I used it as a cheap quick fix to fill in some space with colour one year.

 

Ello Geezer, how you doing?

 

I am good thanks @Zigs
