The transition period between summer and autumn is the perfect time to sow some flowers that will bring a touch of color to your urban garden or outdoor space in the coming months. Here are three varieties you should definitely consider!
3 Flower Varieties to Sow Now
- Dwarf Marigold
Dwarf marigold is cold-resistant and adapts well to cooler climates. Sowing it now will help it develop strong roots, allowing it to bloom in autumn and winter. Its vibrant colors will bring energy to your garden even in the colder months. Did you know that marigold is also known as the “gold of gardens”? Its yellow-orange flowers are not only decorative but also attract beneficial insects, promoting biodiversity.
Tip: Water regularly, but don’t overdo it. Marigolds like moist soil, but they can suffer if it’s too wet. - Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus)
This biennial variety is perfect to sow at the end of summer or early autumn. Slowly growing during winter, it will develop strong roots. In spring, its fragrant blooms will add beauty and color to your green space. This flower is a symbol of affection and passion—another reason to include it in your garden!
Design Tip: Plant Sweet William in groups to create a striking color effect, alternating different varieties. - Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis)
Delicate and charming, Forget-Me-Nots can be sown in autumn and will bloom in spring. They resist cold temperatures well and germinate in cool months, creating a layer of tiny blue flowers, perfect for adding elegance. These flowers are ideal for flower beds and borders.
Fun Fact: Forget-Me-Nots are a symbol of eternal love and unforgettable memories. Adding them to your garden will bring blooms that speak of affection and beauty!
How to Prepare the Soil for Sowing
The ideal potting soil is a high-quality universal mix, enriched with sand and perlite to promote drainage and aeration.
