Flower Seeds
Growing beautiful flowers from flower
seeds is a wonderful experience that every gardening enthusiast
should try at least once. Yes, it's easier to plant bulbs or transplanted
flowers, but caring for anything from tiny seed to full-grown
plant provides a real sense of accomplishment.
It varies
from flower to flower, but most seeds will germinate in 1-3 weeks,
if you are careful to provide the correct conditions. Indoor
flower seed germination is basically a matter of creating and
maintaining the proper lighting, temperature, and moisture.
Once the
seeds have been sown, it can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3
months for flower seedlings to reach the ideal maturity for
transplanting. The flowers should then be carefully moved to your
prepared garden or a pot.
Below is a
list of seeds for some of the most popular perennial and annual
flowers, along with links to convenient online ordering options.
