The season is coming to an end, with our Pheasant Eye Seed’s dropping their seed buds and starting the life cycle again. So for the moment, we’re popping our blog back in the potting shed, awaiting some blooms to arrive next year.  

Our Pheasant’s Eye seeds have been in full bloom over the last two to three weeks. They’re luxurious red petals are unmistakable, and the buds have been progressing through the life cycle and producing grape sized seed pods to help populate the planter next season.

Back in December 2015 we adopted the British Pheasant’s Eye Seed through Kew Garden’s ‘Adopt a Seed’ project. At the same time, we decided to purchase a little seed packet and try to grow our own in a large reception planter, nicknamed Scarlett.
