Garden flowers with seeds in open ground. Annual flowers that reproduce themselves by self-sowing: a list with names, photos

Flower bed of annuals in early summer

Not all flowers can be grown in seedlings, as many simply do not survive after transplantation. The procedure for sowing seeds of annuals that are not afraid of frost into the ground will help gardeners grow their favorite annuals as early as April. At proper care, such plants are well accepted and bloom quickly.

What annual flowers can be sown in the ground in April

Some frost-resistant annual flowers can be sown in the ground in early April, these include:

  • Cornflowers;
  • Iberis;
  • Flax;
  • Cosmeus;
  • Calendula.

These plants are boldly sown in open ground already in mid-April, without fear of possible cold snaps. The advantage of such flowers is that they have a short growing season. Thus, already at the beginning of summer you can enjoy fragrant and colorful buds.

  • Asters;
  • Godetia;
  • Chrysanthemums;
  • Delphinium annual.

In the middle of summer, you can re-sow the same cold-resistant flowers, so you can enjoy them throughout the fall, until frost.

The following unpretentious plants are suitable for sowing at the end of April: poppy, matiolla, mignonette, marigold, alyssum, foxglove, mallow, lupine, southern liatris, viola.

Rules for sowing cold-resistant letniki

Experienced gardeners recommend pre-sprouting large seeds by wrapping them in a damp cloth for several days. When sowing without scarification directly into the soil, there is a high probability of their death. This will disrupt germination, and hence appearance flower beds, voids are formed.

In order for letniki to grow well in open ground, all sowing procedures should be followed:

  • The soil is loosened well beforehand, without leaving lumps, then leveled and moistened abundantly. If you are planning to sow perennials, then it is recommended to loosen the soil no deeper than 6-8 cm, so as not to damage their roots.
  • Do not make too deep grooves, they should correspond to the size of the seeds. For the smallest - up to 2 cm, for large - up to 5 cm.
  • When sowing seeds, it is necessary to take into account the factor that some will not sprout or die. Therefore, it is recommended to sow one and a half times more than the required number of flowers. If there are too many plants, they can be easily thinned out or planted.
  • Remember to respect the required row spacing when thinning. It should be calculated based on the degree of growth of planted crops.
  • When forming a colorful multi-sorted flower bed, it is recommended to use planting "nests": use 7-8 pieces of the smallest seeds, 4-5 medium and 2-3 large ones. But caring for such a landing will be more difficult.
  • After sowing, the bed must be covered with lutrasil or film, and when the first shoots appear, the shelter should be removed.
  • It is recommended to thin out the planting immediately after the leaves appear on the sprouts, but if the young sprouts do not interfere with each other, you can wait for the first small flowers to collect a miniature bouquet.

Letniki need to be watered as needed, but if the varieties are moisture-loving, you should not wait for the earth to dry. They are moistened according to the schedule indicated on the seed package.

In April, in areas with a warm climate, it is already possible to sow annual flowers in open ground, but where the spring is late and the summer is short and cool, it is better to use the seedling method of growing flowers. There are no strict deadlines for sowing seeds of one species or another, because the duration of the growing season of a crop depends on many conditions: the climate of the area, weather, the quality of seeds and soil. Based on this, you yourself will have to decide when exactly to sow flower seeds for seedlings and at what time to then plant seedlings in the ground, but there is a certain list of plants that are most often sown for seedlings in April.

Planting dates for April

Seeds of what colors and at what time exactly are sown in the ground in April? In those areas where at this time it is already a real spring, even if not very warm, flower growers spend the first half of the month preparing the soil in the flower beds, and the direct planting of flower seeds is carried out from the beginning of the second half of April. Planting flowers in a flower bed, the seedlings of which have already grown and hardened at home or in a greenhouse, is carried out at the same time. Planting flowers in the ground is carried out in auspicious days. In April 2016, these are the 13th, 14th, 18th and 20th. Climbing plants are best sown on April 11 or 20.

What flowers are sown in open ground in April

In the second half of the month, seeds of such plants as calendula, iberis, summer adonis, arctotis, gaillardia, garden hibiscus, gypsophila, coreopsis, kosmeya, lavatera, sweet pea, viscaria, vaccaria, ornamental cabbage, clarkia, annual cornflowers, Chinese carnation, annual rudbeckia, phacelia, nikandra, mattiola, poppy, lobularia, godetia, dimorphoteca, snakehead, bristle, field grass, mignonette, scabiosa, nigella, flax, malcolmia, canary grass, escholcia, echium and other cold-resistant annuals and perennials.

In areas with a cold and long spring, it will be possible to sow the seeds of these flowers in the ground only in May, but it is better to sow them in March or April for seedlings, and in May plant the seedlings in the ground, where they will bloom almost immediately under favorable weather conditions. In this article, we will tell you how to sow some of the listed annuals, as well as the general care rules for these flowers.

Ipomoea

This beautiful climber with gramophone flowers prefers places protected from the wind and loose soils. Before sowing, morning glory seeds are soaked for a day in a thermos with warm water for swelling. Those seeds that are not swollen are pricked with a needle and again lowered into warm water for a day. Instead of water, you can use an aqueous solution of Kornevin or Heteroauxin. It is easy to sow large morning glory seeds: two seeds are dipped into each hole, then the holes are covered with soil and watered, after which the flower bed is mulched with peat. If, according to the forecast, frosts are coming, the crops are covered with a film.

Eschsolzia

This plant, which is also called the California poppy, is not capricious, it is easy to grow and care for it. Eschscholzia is photophilous, grows on drained soils of almost any composition, but with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction, blooms from June to September.

When you learn how to sow flower seeds, you will have a wide selection of flowers not available for purchase in the form of bulbs or seedlings. On the other hand, planting flower seeds is somewhat more difficult than planting and transplanting finished plants and requires more diligence in the beginning. And this will bring you a huge opportunity to choose flowers for your garden, but also significant savings in the family budget.

This page will help you understand the ins and outs of growing flowers from seeds and can ensure that your flower seeds germinate, bloom and continue to bloom with lush, beautiful flowers...

When to Plant Flower Seeds

Planting time indoors is really important...until you realize this: Seedlings can only be planted outdoors when they are strong enough and have a well-formed root system. You should also take into account the climate: flowers should not be planted in open ground while there is a possibility of frost.

Perennial bulbs have some special planting requirements. See our page on how, where and when to plant flower bulbs (coming soon) for more information.

Sowing seeds outdoors flower seeds is a different matter and the timing of planting depends on whether your flower is an annual or a perennial.

Perennial Flowers: When to Plant Perennial Flower Seeds Outdoors

Perennial flowers should be planted from seed in one of two periods: early spring or late autumn. Planting in early spring will ensure that your plants' roots have enough time to grow big and strong and have the strength to survive the winter.

But wouldn't planting in late fall be detrimental to my plants before they had a chance to grow? Seed cover provides the necessary plant protection and the seeds will remain dormant until spring awakening.

Planting in late fall serves another purpose: many perennial grass seeds need a wet, cold period to germinate (a process called “separation”). Performing a spring sowing for perennials with this growing cycle will require more involvement on your part.

Despite the fact that learning to plant flower seeds in spring is much more difficult than it might seem at first glance. You need to be prepared and be patient. You need to first mix your seeds into the vermiculite and evenly moisten the mixture to the point where it has the moisture of a wrung out sponge. Place the mixture in a tightly sealed container or other airtight container and refrigerate for 2 ½ - 3 months. Obviously, spring sowing is not a spontaneous event and is based on the planned planting date.

Annuals: When to Plant Annual Flower Seeds Outdoors

Annual flowers have another very important indicator such as their cold tolerance...

  • frost-resistant flowers can be planted as soon as the soil is sufficiently thawed and can be dug up, and the soil temperature does not fall below -4 ° C.
  • medium hardy flower seeds should not be planted until the ground is warm enough, they can handle a light frost and are likely to be fine.
  • thermophilic should not be planted until the danger of frost has completely passed. Any temperature below 4 C will cause the plants to die.

How to Plant Flower Seeds:
Start

When growing flowers from seeds in containers, use new organic blends Every year. Because the nutrients in the old earth were depleted last year.

This is exactly how you need to sow flower seeds for year-round cultivation ...

  1. Choose a container, based on where you want your plants to end up:
    • If you plan to move them to the garden, the easiest option is to use peat pots or cubes of organic earth. peat pots allow you to transplant the flower along with the container to your garden, it's easy for you and the seedlings.

Peat Pots

They are completely biodegradable and actually improve the surrounding soil after transplanting. organic cubes are made from organic material and allow the plant to take root faster. They are also completely biodegradable and can be transferred directly to the soil when transplanted.

  • If you plan to keep flowers indoors and grow them in pots, you have several options. You can start with peat pots(one plant per peat pot) and transplant them into large pot or container later (make sure the pot has good drainage), or you can just sow them in a large pot or container.

(How To Grow Plants Indoors From Seeds / Planting Instructions Below)

What should be the pot or container...

1.If you decide to use a container to sow seeds or transplant your seedlings, here are a few things to keep in mind...

  • Material: plastic, clay, wood or stone (your personal choice)
  • The size: must be appropriate for the task at hand. Determine the size of the future grown plant before choosing a pot.
  • Drainage A: Your plants will die without proper drainage. At a minimum, there should be a few holes in the bottom.
  • Features of moisturizing: saucers placed under the pot with holes in the bottom and self-watering pots serve to water your plants from below. This is much better than watering them by hand, as the plants themselves determine when they need water and how much they need.
  1. Fill the selected container soil mixture that you have previously moistened (should feel like a squeezed sponge), leaving approximately 6.4 mm to 2.5 cm of space between the top of the mixture and the top of the container (depending on container size, for peat pots, leave about 6.4 mm.
  2. Lightly compact the soil, but do not be zealous. Remember the soil must be moisture and breathable.
  3. Create shallow grooves or holes in your soil(For accurate depths, follow the color recommendations in ours or the instructions on the seed packet).
  4. Throw flower seeds into holes or furrows. Do your best to distribute the seeds evenly, but don't worry if it doesn't work out perfectly. You can always thin out the plants later if they start growing too close together.
  5. Coat the seeds based on their individual planting needs.Some of them require a light coat land while others (such as most very small seeds) should not be covered at all.
  6. Create a fine mist over your seeds. With a sprayer
  7. Cover the container with glass or clear plastic
  8. Put the container where it gets indirect sunlight and a temperature of about 21 C.
  9. After the seeds germinate(sprout), remove the plastic bag or glass and move the plant where there is direct sunlight and control the temperature it should be in the range (15.5 to 24 C) - check out our to familiarize yourself with the temperature requirements of specific plants, if any. Germination can be very fast, so keep a close eye on the seedlings.
  10. Your seedlings or seedlings should be well watered, but know when to stop. As a general rule of thumb, let the potting soil dry out slightly between waterings. Even better, if the place for seedlings is equipped with a humidifier.
  11. If your flowers will end up (or stay) in a pot or container...
    1. Transplant your seedlings into separate pots after they have grown their first set of true leaves, use earthy mixes instead of soil from the garden, so that the seedlings get the nutrients they badly need during this stage. As you pull out each plant, there is a chance that several seedlings will be tied together. Separate them and transplant each seedling separately - one per peat pot or 5 cm apart in a larger container. In order to correctly transplant each seedling to its new location, use your finger to press down on the soil and make an indentation deep enough to allow the seedling to grow at the same soil level as before.
    2. Gently soak the soil around each seedling.
    3. Temper your flowers(to get them used to the harsher conditions of their new environment) before leaving them outside permanently or planting them in outdoor flowerpots
      1. Day 1 - Leave them outside for 4 hours in the sun that meets each plant's recommendations (direct sunlight, partial shade, full shade)
      2. Day 2 - Leave them outside for 6 hours
      3. Day 3 - Leave them outside for 8 hours
      4. 4th day - Transfer to a garden or flower garden.

How to Plant Flower Seeds: Where to Buy Seeds

When growing flowers from seeds, bulbs, cuttings or transplants, always purchase planting material from a trusted source to ensure the following:

  • Do you know which flower or plant you have planted?
  • Flowers or seeds come from a healthy source (i.e. they are properly matured)

There are several places to buy your seeds both online and offline...

  • your neighbors. Are you impressed by the neighbor's flower garden? Ask them where they get their seeds or seedlings. They may even give you free flowers the next time they visit.
  • Local nurseries or garden centers
  • Seed catalog (offline and online).

There is an opinion that annual flowers are planted in the ground at the end of spring, but this is not the only time when this can be done. Planting annual plants is not particularly difficult, but it has a few tricks. Early planting of one-year-olds can lead to freezing of seedlings, and late planting will not allow you to get a bright flower garden.

    General rules for planting seeds

    It is very important to plant flowers in open ground at the right time, but it is equally important to follow some rules for planting seeds so that the seedlings are friendly:

    1. 1. Plant the seeds after preparing the soil, it must be well loosened, leveled, fertilized and watered. When planting very early annuals, the soil is prepared in the fall. If the seeds are sown to perennial plants, then the depth of soil loosening should not exceed 10 cm, so as not to damage the bulbs and bulbs already in the ground.
    2. 2. The depth of the grooves correlates with the size of the seeds: small grains are sown no deeper than 15-20 mm, medium ones to a depth of 30-50 mm, very small ones are only pressed into the ground.
    3. 3. The distance between the grooves depends on the size of the plant, the more magnificent it grows, the greater the distance between the rows. In some cases (marigold, calendula), the row spacing reaches 30-40 cm.
    4. 4. The grooves should be watered abundantly before planting, after the water has been absorbed, the ground should be very wet.
    5. 5. By making grooves, the sides are formed, which are then thrown from only one side. If the plants are planted in early spring, then the sides are left on the north side, so the earth warms up faster, and in the summer from the south, so that weak shoots are shaded.
    6. 6. After the grooves are covered, it is advisable to cover them with agrofibre. This will retain moisture and protect seedlings from pests.
    7. 7. Seeds of early one-year-olds and two-year-olds are planted before winter. Those that will bloom at the beginning of summer - in early spring, and those that will bloom in the middle - at the end of May.

    Landing before winter

    When planting seeds in the ground before winter, you need to be prepared for the fact that about 30% of those planted will rise in the spring. The land must be well cultivated, fertilized. It is necessary to take care of the substrate in advance for sheltering the seeds.

    Important! Sow seeds should be in the places where they will grow next summer. Seedlings obtained in this way do not tolerate transplantation.

    You can sow from the end of October until almost snow. Even small frosts are not a hindrance to this, only the soil should be well loosened by this time.

    Before winter, the following flowers are sown: aster, alissum, calendula (marigold), gypsophila, cornflower, cosmea, poppy seedling, nigella, escholcia, godetia, lavateru, flax, sage, nasturtium and some others . Many annual flowers can self-sow, such as marigolds, asters, escholcia. The resulting seedlings will need to be broken through and seated.

    Florists claim that autumn planting allows you to get a flowering flower bed 2-3 weeks earlier.

    Many perennials, when sown with seeds, require time in the cold. If planting is carried out in April, then the seeds are kept in the refrigerator for some time.

    Perennials, when planted before winter, give stronger shoots, grow better, their flowering is more abundant. From biennials before winter, you can plant seeds of lavender, gentian, primrose, aquilegia, delphinium, and hellebore.

    Perennial and biennial plants, when sown in spring, give flowering only in the second year, but if they are sown before winter and sheltered from the cold in spring, the first flowers can be obtained this year.

    Planting in the spring

    In the spring, flower beds in the Middle lane begin to be sown from the end of March to the end of May.

    Basically, soil preparation is carried out in March and early April, and mass planting of flowers begins in the second half of April - early May. In those areas where frosts last for a long time, it is advisable to sow plant seeds in seedling boxes, and only then, having prepared it, are planted in open ground. This should be done when the threat of zero temperatures has passed.

    Breakdown by month for Middle lane Russia looks like this:

    1. 1. End of March - first half of April. During this period, the soil is mainly prepared, quite a lot of annuals can be planted in the ground, the planting of biennial and perennial plants should be postponed until the end of May and mid-summer. During this period, annual flowers are sown: snapdragon, grass carnation, annual allisum or loburia (the plant has a pronounced smell), daisies, iberis.
    2. 2. The second half of April - the beginning of May. This is the time of mass sowing of annual flower beds, but it is too early to sow those that quickly sprout and are afraid of the cold. Among those that are sown will be: summer adonis, arctotis, viscaria, vaccaria, gaillardia, Chinese carnation, garden hibiscus, gypsophila, godetia, ornamental cabbage, dimorphoteka, sweet pea, iberis, ipomenia, snakehead, coreopsis, kosmeya, clarkia, lavatera , annual cornflowers, annual rudbeckia, phacelia, nikandra, matthiola, poppy, bristle, field grass, mignonette, scabiosa, flax, malcolmia, canary grass, echium.
    3. 3. End of May. At the end of spring, those flowers are planted whose seedlings are afraid of frost, as well as those annuals whose flowering is scheduled for the end of summer - the beginning of autumn. These are autumn asters, marigolds, gypsophila, nastrutium, daisies, leucanthemum, annual dahlias and others.

    Can you plant flowers in summer?

    In the middle of summer (July) it is very good to plant:

    • Biennial flowers: digitalis, pansies, bluebells, forget-me-nots, Turkish carnations and many others. At the same time, perennial seeds are planted: garden bells, forget-me-nots, etc. They germinate well and grow well.
    • In July, you can also sow those annual flowers that will decorate the flower beds already before frost, when others have faded and harvested, these can be: marigolds, petunia, flax, levkoy, iberis.

    But at this time it is better to plant already grown seedlings of annuals, for example, petunias or lilies, from boxes into the ground.

When arranging a garden, many flower growers rely on perennials, rightly believing that there is much less trouble with them than with annual flowers. In addition, landscape compositions based on perennial plants remain attractive for a very long time. They do not need to be created from scratch every spring, from year to year they only become more beautiful.

And everything would be fine, but there is one caveat: the purchase planting material a large flower garden can be quite expensive. If you want to decorate a large area with perennial flowers without incurring exorbitant costs, look for plants that are easy to grow from seed. Yes, they will bloom a little later (although some perennials from seeds bloom in the first year), but at a very modest cost, you will immediately receive not one or two roots, but as many plants as you need to implement your ideas.

Aquilegia, or catchment area

Graceful hybrid aquilegia look great not only in color: dense, compact bushes (up to 50 cm in height) adorn flower beds with their openwork foliage from spring to late autumn. Flowering plants attract with an unusual shape of flowers on high (up to 1 m) peduncles, and bright, often two-tone color. It blooms in May-June, in favorable conditions, flowering can continue until mid-July.

shade-loving, prefer well-moistened fertile soil. It is not necessary to cover them for the winter, care comes down to removing wilted flowers, loosening and mulching the soil, watering and fertilizing as needed. Plants give abundant self-seeding, so it is very important to cut the flower stalks in time, preventing the formation of seeds.

If aquilegia grow on the site different varieties, they are easily pollinated, and offspring grown from their own seeds will not repeat parental traits. When buying seeds in a store, it is important to pay attention to the dates: only fresh seeds germinate well. Stratification (or winter sowing) allows you to get more friendly shoots.

An ideal plant for rocky gardens, rockeries, borders in open, sunny areas. Armeria is photophilous, drought-resistant, prefers light sandy soils with a slightly acidic reaction and does not like calcareous soils. Practically does not get sick and is not affected by pests. Shelter for the winter is not required. Care consists in pruning wilted flowers, top dressing (2-3 times per season), watering during prolonged drought. It is recommended to divide the plants every 2-3 years.

Growing, armeria forms a dense “bump” with a diameter of up to 30 cm and a height of 15-20 cm. In June, small pink or white flowers bloom on strong 30-cm peduncles, collected in spherical inflorescences with a diameter of about 3 cm.

Care consists in pruning wilted flowers, top dressing (2-3 times per season), watering during prolonged drought. It is recommended to divide the plants every 2-3 years. Seeds for seedlings are sown in February-March; can be sown directly into the ground in early spring or before winter.

Types and varieties of perennials grown in flower beds differ in height (from 20-30 to 90 cm or more), color and size of flowers, flowering time (from late May - early June to late autumn), but they are all quite unpretentious, cold-resistant, drought-resistant; prefer well-lit areas with loose, drained soil that has a neutral or alkaline reaction.

Some popular types of perennial asters are:

Astra alpine

late May - mid June

white, lilac, lilac-blue, violet

Astra Italiana, or chamomile

early July - September

pink, purple, lilac, lilac, dark blue

Aster shrub

late August - November

white, pink, lilac, lilac, lilac-blue

The best germination occurs in fresh seeds, so when buying, pay attention to the terms indicated on the bag. Perennial asters grown from seeds bloom in the second year.

Gelenium is a fast growing, unpretentious perennial for autumn flower beds. Yellow, red-brown, two-tone (yellow with a red stroke at the base of the petals) bright flowers bloom in August and decorate the garden until late frost.

The plant is photophilous, at the time of flowering it is demanding on moisture and needs a garter so that the bushes do not fall apart. Shelter for the winter is not required. Once every 3-4 years, overgrown geleniums must be divided and transplanted. Seeds can be sown in the ground before winter, but more often flower growers use the seedling method, sowing in February-March in seedling boxes, and then planting young plants in flower beds in early June. They will bloom next fall.

Luxurious candle-shaped inflorescences of hybrid delphiniums are a worthy decoration of a summer garden. A variety of varieties allows you to choose suitable option for almost any composition: delphinium flowers can be bright blue, light blue, white, pink; simple or terry. The flowering plant reaches a height of 2 m, but there are also undersized varieties.

cold-resistant; prefer areas with fertile, moderately moist soil. They do not like heat and do not tolerate drought well, so it is advisable to plant them where the plants will be shaded in the midday heat. Tall varieties need protection from strong winds that can break the stems, and often a garter to supports.

The delphinium does not need shelter for the winter. In one place, it can grow for 6-7 years, after which the bush is divided and transplanted. From seeds grown by seedling method; some varieties are recommended to be stratified to obtain friendly seedlings.

This plant is very popular with gardeners. Lavender is an indispensable attribute of Mediterranean-style gardens, compositions of aromatic herbs, romantic flower beds. It can also be grown as a container plant - in the garden, on the terrace or balcony.

In cold regions, narrow-leaved is cultivated - other species are more demanding on heat and do not hibernate in the northern climate. For planting choose sunny areas with loose, permeable soil, alkaline soils are preferred. The plant does not tolerate waterlogging and high acidity of the soil. Lavender can winter without shelter, but often gardeners use spruce branches, which helps to keep snow on plantings.

Plants grown from seeds are more resilient and durable; They bloom the next year after sowing. To increase germination, seeds need stratification (sometimes it is replaced by heating the seeds or sowing in soil heated with boiling water). Grow only by seedling method, sowing in the ground is not used.

This plant is extremely diverse, has many species, as well as hybrids and varieties created on their basis, but not all of them are widely used in culture. The easiest to care for and grow from seeds:

  • varieties and hybrids of common primrose, or stemless;
  • high primrose varieties;
  • primrose finely toothed (mixtures of its few varieties are usually found on sale).

These give friendly shoots without stratification and other additional procedures. Seedlings develop slowly, so seedlings are sown in February.

Primroses prefer loose nutritious soil with good moisture, but without stagnant water; do not tolerate drought well. They can grow in full sun, but usually do best in partial shade. Most species do not require winter shelter. Care consists of watering, fertilizing, mulching the soil and removing wilted flowers.

Thyme, or thyme

A heat-loving, drought-resistant plant that is great for growing in rockeries, sunny flower beds, borders. very photophilous; grows well on loose soils with a neutral reaction, does not tolerate waterlogging.

Valued for abundant long flowering, pleasant aroma and peculiar slightly bitter taste; used in cooking and folk medicine. The plant does not get sick and is not affected by pests, practically does not require care. It does not need shelter for the winter, but it can suffer in winters with little snow, so gardeners often use spruce branches for snow retention.

When grown from seeds, young plants need periodic loosening and weeding in the first season, as they develop rather slowly. Subsequently, the grown thyme will not bring any worries to the gardener.

This spectacular, tall (up to 120 cm or more) perennial is distinguished not only by its bright appearance, but also medicinal properties. The plant is unpretentious, winter-hardy; photophilous, but tolerates partial shading. Practically does not get sick and is not affected by pests. Blooms from mid-summer to late autumn; has many varieties and hybrids.

Care consists in pruning fading inflorescences, fertilizing with complex fertilizer during the flowering period, and watering if necessary. For planting, open areas with loose, moisture-permeable soil with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction are preferred.

When propagated by seeds, it blooms in the second year; To obtain flowering plants already in the first summer, sowing is carried out in the second half of February - early March. Seedlings develop quickly; at the end of May, seedlings can be planted in open ground.

An unpretentious and very attractive groundcover with silvery foliage and numerous white flowers that bloom in late May. It grows well on poor soils, including sandy and rocky ones; does not tolerate waterlogging and stagnant water.

Yaskolka does not get sick, is not affected by pests, does not require care, does not need shelter for the winter. Light-loving, drought-resistant. It grows in one place for no more than 3 years, then the plants must be cut and replanted, separating the overgrown curtains. When growing from seeds, a seedling method is used or sown directly into the ground (before winter or early spring).

And this is not the whole list of perennials that can be grown from seeds without much effort. It takes only a little patience and quality seeds to create a wonderful garden that blooms from spring to late autumn.
