Flowers from seeds

Well done Holly such a cheerful show of colour.

Super display, I bet the insects are over the moon. We all hanker for the unusual and showy plants sometimes, but these old cottage garden favourites always give a terrific show for very little effort. I have the common pink oxalis, which can be a nuisance and loads of people despise, but it always gives a good show without any trouble and am going to fill holes with common old candytuft next year!

that looks lovely. what mix was it? I would like to try that next year as I am the same, can't seem to grow from seed, but it's proving really expensive buying plugs.

Beautiful colourful display, love cottage garden annuals.

What a delight , Holly .
Well done , very rewarding .

I think the secret with outdoor sowing is to choose an evening when it has been raining during the day.
Then cool the next day.

What a lovely display, you have done really well with those. I haven't grown candytuft for years, but they are so pretty.

What a lovely colourful display, well done!

They look lovely well worth the money I should think and such a varietie.

They're very pretty and look really summery :o)

They look great,Holly.so many different types and colours..did you sow them all in pots? What a good idea..such a lovely display..well done :o)

Lovely display Holly....

They're truly lovely Holly and take me back years, especially those little blue stock? flowers. I remember these along with night scented stocks when we were first married and I wasn't sure what to grow in the garden, the night scented ones were amazing at dusk! Love the brilliant peachy Godetias, and candytuft....in fact all of them, they're so pretty, well worth trying!

What a good idea to plant them in pots Holly, a pretty mixture and a change from the usual annuals what a lovely display :o)

Lovely Holly. Was that just one packet of seeds?

Great results Holly and lovely mixture of cottage plants;0)

Great result Holly.... this is the first year I've grown from seeds...I'm so chuff with results, will certainly do it again this year! I love cottage plants, think I might try the same and sow in pots... well done Us Two!!

Thank you everyone for looking at the blog and for all your nice comments... the seed mix has certainly turned out lovely, just as it said on the container... lol

Absolutely beautiful collection of flowers - well done Holly ... :o)

Thanks Shirley :))

You have got a very nice selection of annual flower there, Holly! :-))

This year for the first time in donkey's year I've sown a few Candytuft seeds & they are about to start flowering!

My wife loves Godetia & most years I sow a packet for her but this year I forgot!

I've also grown the Stocks but not for very many years now.

Your seeds have done you proud, Holly, so much colour. I had some aquilegias that had just put on a spurt of growth but yesterday one of the tortoises made a meal of them :(

Thank you Balcony, I did not know all the names of the flowers, but have found them out from the comments... glad youare growing candytuft... :))
