Title: Any flowers to sow now?
Post by: caroline7758 on July 13, 2014, 17:28:30
I've cleared some space by cutting back perennial sweet peas and hardy geraniums. Is there anything quick-growing that I could sow now, or is that asking too much?

What about some foxgloves? I  know they won't flower this year but they will flower early next year if they are nice big plants by then! You might try calendula's too, they will like this hot weather and probably flower this year, and survive overwinter if its mild again.

Thanks, Deb- Calendula is a good idea for some nice bright colours.
