3 tips when buying flower seeds
If you're new to gardening, it's best to start with easy-to-grow flowers like sunflowers, marigolds, and mallows.
To attract pollinators like bumblebees and honey bees, consider planting flowers such as honeysuckle, lavender, and blue tansy.
If you're looking to use a trellis, climbing plants like morning glory, sweet peas, and passion flowers are suitable options.
For your flowers to thrive, they need the right balance of water, warmth, and light. So, think carefully about where to plant them:
South-facing flower beds receive sunshine all day, so choose flowers that handle direct sunlight and heat well, like hollyhocks, sunflowers, and verbena.
West-facing flower beds enjoy evening sun, making them ideal for petunias, lobelia, and coleus.
East-facing flower beds get the most light in the morning, perfect for begonias, fuchsias, and tagetes.
For north-facing flower beds, plant flowers that cope well with shade, such as fuchsias, camellias, and native violets.
When planning your flower garden, think if you want to plant perennials or annuals.
Perennials are flowers you can enjoy year after year – they wilt in autumn and return in spring, so you only need to sow them once. You'll need to protect your perennials during winter though.
Annuals grow, bloom, and then die at the end of the season. While you don't have to worry about them surviving winter, you'll need to start anew each spring.
