Flower Seeds

About Flower Seeds

This flower seeds range is organised by growing season, since most annual flowers need to be sown at a specific time of year to bloom on schedule. Winter-sown varieties dominate the collection — Pansy, Cleome, Salvia and Gypsophila are all typically sown as the weather cools — while Vinca, Gomphrena and Tithonia are suited to the monsoon and summer months instead. Nearly every seed here is tagged for full sun, so they're best sown in open garden beds, terrace planters or balcony boxes that get direct sunlight for a good part of the day, not shaded corners.

A number of varieties, including three of the Pansy options here, are F1 hybrid seeds bred for more uniform flowering and colour than open-pollinated seed. Sunflower, Morning Glory and Sweet Pea are among the easier, larger seeds to start for a first-time grower, while finer seeds like Petunia and Gypsophila need a bit more care at germination. Check each product's season and light tags before sowing, since planting a winter flower like Pansy in peak summer is a common reason seeds fail to establish.
