Beginner question re plants from seed

[BumbleB]

Hi everyone, I am just finding my way around this fantastic site. I have got started with veg, salads and annual flowers etc but what about other flowers, larger plants etc.

Can I grow groundcover plants from seed? I like the colourful blanket type plants for rockeries etc, are these available from seed? Also shrubs or perrenial types.

Can you let me know what are good easy things to start with?

Thanks
BB

You can grow almost anything from seed, although some things work better by cuttings.

And you can sometimes be waiting a year - or several - for things to grow to a decent size, or to flower. I tend to make a list of perennials I like (and would like a lot of, which can be expensive if you buy plants) and then have a look at the seed packets in garden centres, or online, to see if they can be grown without any fancy equipment. Have just planted out some ox-eye daisies and harebells grown from seed.
