Shop nowSowing flower seeds gives you fantastic bang for your buck. It’s a great way to fill your beds and borders with summer colour whilst saving money on garden-ready plants or bedding. There are so many flowers to choose from to grow from seed, including annual and perennial varieties. Thompson & Morgan’s quality range is the best place to source your seed to fill garden borders, containers and hanging baskets with overflowing vibrant blooms in shapes, sizes and colours to delight the eye.
Starting your flowers from seed enables you to grow so many more flowers for a fraction of the price that buying the same amount of garden ready plants would. Sowing your own seed gives you the freedom to achieve early flowering by a few weeks with garden favourites like sweet pea seeds. Simply sow these hardy seeds in autumn while the temperature is still warm enough for germination. Keep the young plants in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse during the colder months.
Hardy annuals like cornflower and poppy seeds take an average of 70 days to flower from seed. The time from seed to flower varies depending on when you’re sowing your seeds. Seeds sown under cover in a steady warm temperature will germinate more quickly than those direct sown in the ground outdoors where temperatures vary.
Different types of flower seeds take different lengths of time too. Sunflower seeds are fantastic for beginners, as the colossal flowers are quick to sprout and bloom. Great quick annual flowers to grow from seed include petunias, marigolds and poppies.
Perennial seeds like aquilegia, dianthus and rudbeckia take a few months to bloom. Sowing perennials is cost effective and guarantees colour in the garden for years to come.
