Why not help wildlife as well as filling your garden with colour? Bees especially love foxgloves, sunflowers, lavender and poppies. For birds, you can’t go wrong with sunflowers and teasels. Get the most out of your garden by reading our expert advice on growing flower seeds and see our Frequently Asked Questions below for more tips.

Which flower seeds are quick to bloom?

Linaria ‘Fairy Bouquet’ is one of the fastest flower seeds to bloom, bursting into life just six weeks after sowing.

Which seeds are best for cut flowers?

If you want to sow your own cut flower seeds this month try sunflowers, cosmos, Ammi majus and amberboa. They’re all good choices for beds, borders and vases.

Which flower seeds have the best fragrance?

For fragrance, choose Sweet William ‘Perfume Mix’, Aquilegia ‘Chocolate Soldier’ or Stock ‘Sweetly Scented Mix’. If you like to linger outdoors after the sun sets, Night Scented Stock ‘Evening Fragrance’ is a wonderful option to grow near outdoor seating areas or beneath bedroom windows.
