50 square feet will be more than enough for the plants in this pack. I am a huge proponent of tight spacing, as I want my stems to grow upright (the plants will support one another), and I want to make use of as much space as possible. Most of the plants in this pack need a 6-12 inch space from one another (information that’s included in your Growing Guide!), so if you have a row that’s 20 feet long and 3 feet wide, you should be good to go! We also recommend interplanting these flowers in your pre-existing perennial beds to add extra colour and interest throughout the season.

Prep and amend your garden! First things first, make sure your soil is nice and loose, whether that’s by working with a broadfork or tilling. Next, check to see if there’s anything your soil is obviously lacking – if it’s compact and clay-like, add some sand. If it’s the reverse, add some clay. It never hurts to add a good helping of compost to get the nutrients up!
