Sowing summer flowers in the open ground

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.

As long as the elder blooms, this month can still sow fast-growing summer flowers such as marigold, nasturtium, maidenhair, vetch or cup mallow. These plants germinate very quickly and bloom after only six to eight weeks.

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).
