What flowers have you got on the go already?

[Scarlet]

I've just started some rudbeckia, purple bell vine ( only a couple germinated last year) and some larkspur.
I have some orlaya, scabious, Rose campion, Black ball cornflowers, sweet peas on the go.

What are you lot growing?? What have you started? What's on your grow list?






Also have a few cuttings taken in Sept which look like they have taken - penstemon, salvias and passion flower

They look so healthy, Scarlet.

I can't remember what's in the GH as I haven't been in there for a few days.
There are some Geranium Palmatum - Purple Haze seedlings on the windowsill - hope these grow.

I'm not one for a lot of flowers.. the OH usually grows a few, I have though got some bluebell seed in the fridge, a few sweet peas ready to sow.
They'll be more in the coming weeks.
Trouble is without the greenhouse I now have to try and juggle everything indoors until May.. nightmare!

Maybe a little coldframe will help?

HUGELY impressed with this lot - got to get my skates on !!!

[Thelma Sanders]

Apart from overwintering the usual plants and tubers, that aren't fully hardy, I've only got sweetpeas and some red thyme seedlings, so far.

Helping pollinators and other insects has been the main motivation. Hopefully we've got most of the best plants for them now, apart from shrubs and trees which we don't have much space for. Now just got to figure out where to put them all

P.S. I forgot about the echinops and salvia nemorosa.

[bramble]

Sweetpeas which have already germinated. Dahlia seeds sown yesterday. Zinnia seeds also sown yesterday.
Hoping to sow Rudbekia this afternoon.

[Thelma Sanders]

Sowed some purple Agapanthus seeds today

[Vegi potager]

Verbena Bonariensis is germinating after having been stuck in the fridge since before Christmas and sown around the 15th.
Geranium orchid blue has been in the Cold frame for the last 3 months with no signs of anything happening.

I grow a lot of herbs which I let flower, as well as having several lavender and rosemary plants. (flower buds starting to show on the rosemary already.) I am also leaving a container of carrots and leeks to flower this year.

I have the seeds so will try most of the following although I have less luck with flowers than veg:
*Borrage
cosmos
*Calendula (daisy mixed)
Dianthus
Foxglove, foxy mixed
Hyssop
*Pot marigolds, saved seeds and some Jolly Jester (french)
*Nasturtium alaska mix (dwarf) and Jewel of india (climbing)
*Nigella
Maybe some poppy (flanders)
Rudbeckia
*Sunflowers- tall/short/ several types
*Tagetes Golden gem/ lemon gem/ orange
Zinnia Purple Prince.

* definites as these are the one I have managed to grow at least a few of before
