Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Botanical Name: Brassica japonica, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Coriandrum sativum

Microgreens – often called ‘Vegetable Confetti’ - are an exciting, colourful, gourmet alternative to sprouting and very popular amongst gourmet chefs. They are halfway in size between sprouts and baby greens, harvested usually within 2 weeks of sowing. They are commonly grown in seedling trays and differ from sprouts in that they are grown in sunlight and harvested with scissors when there are two or more true leaves.

Microgreens include many of the same leafy greens as those used for salad mixes but are cut at a smaller stage; but also more unique varieties that are chosen for their colour, flavour and texture. They are eaten as thin, delicate plants - as miniature variations on salad greens and herbs. They provide texture and colour when used as garnish, or exciting flavours when used as part of salad mixes. While sprouts are well known for their health benefits they are not as famous for their flavour - Microgreens are both healthy and a taste sensation.

Flavours of the Orient contains Mustard Ruby Streaks, Garland Chrysanthemum and Coriander

We hope you enjoy these salad green seeds, just another great example of vegetable seeds from Mr Fothergill’s!

How To Grow	There are a couple of growing methods. Growing in a Mr Fothergill’s Microgreens Tray: 1. Fill the clear plastic container with water and place black growing tray on top. 2. Place a thin sheet of tissue paper on the growing tray, sprinkling your seeds onto the paper. 3. Place in a light and warm position but keep away from direct sunlight. 4. Spray the seeds 2-3 times a day with a fine mist of water until roots develop. Cover with foil to keep moist. 5. Once roots reach the water in the bottom container, spraying and foil are no longer required. Keep the water topped up and refreshed. You can also add liquid fertiliser to promote strong and healthy growth. 6. Harvest the seedlings in 7-14 days by cutting just above the seed. Growing in soil: 1. Fill a seedling tray or plant pots with quality soil mix and firm down gently. 2. Sow the seeds thinly and cover with a fine layer of soil. 3. Keep the soil moist but not too wet. Add liquid fertiliser for strong and healthy growth. 4. Harvest the seedlings in 7-14 days by cutting at the bottom of the stem.
