Topic: Flowers to cut next year

[Psi (Pronounced 'Si'!)]

I've collected a load of hollyhock seeds and have a few coming through in seed trays - is this a good time to get them going?  I'm trying to simulate self seeded plants i guess.

Also doing some sweetpeas now.

Is there anything else I can get going now?

Yes Psi there a quite a few hardy annuals that can be sown now. Larkspur makes a very nice cut flower. Clarkia, Candytuft and Nigella are just a few

Cosmos does well as a cut flower too.  :D

Be careful with Nigella though... I let it self seed once and it took over half a plot... even after a decade of hoeing/pulling I still get some...  :)

I got some Hollyhock seeds and the packet says you can sow now or in spring, ive started a few of in the greenhouse and they are off to a good start.
