Last sowing of annual summer flowers

Levkojen, zinnias, snapdragons, bearded carnation and other summer flowers, which are grown now, bloom already in May. For sowing is suitable bright windowsill in the apartment.

Many summer flowers germinate reliably even at low temperatures and can therefore already be sown directly in the open ground. They then bloom later than plants grown indoors, but are usually more vigorous and bloom more abundantly and persistently. Suitable for early sowing outdoors are, for example, cosmea, California poppy, sunflower, aster, zinnia, nasturtium, maidenhair, strawflower, marigold or sweet pea.

The biennials sown a few weeks ago, such as evening primrose, golden violet, bearded carnation, foxglove, bellflower, pansy, forget-me-not or hollyhock, are now too dense in the sowing tray and need to be singled out (pricked).
