We can’t believe we’re in double digits of May already! There’s still time to sow annuals – we’re still sowing here and very much hoping we get some warmer, sunny days soon to help things along. Time from seed to flower for the things we’re sowing now tends to be (depending on the weather!) between 7 weeks (for really speedy ones) and 16 weeks (Callistephus varieties tend to take the longest but they provide good colour in late summer and autumn).

If you’re looking for the quickest flowering varieties we can recommend these which will flower in as little as 7/8 weeks. For more you can take a look at our latest news page.
