Seeds to Sow in January

Dreaming of summer flowers while the cottage garden sleeps? January might be the coldest month, but it's the perfect time for dedicated gardeners to get a head start on slow-growing varieties or those needing a cold spell.

What Can You Really Sow in January?

  • Indoors (with Heat & Light): Some slow-growing perennials or tricky annuals like Begonias, Geraniums (Pelargoniums)], or Chillies (Capsicum) benefit from a very early start indoors if you can provide consistent warmth (propagator) and good light (grow lights are often needed).

  • Outdoors (for Cold Stratification): Certain hardy seeds actually need a period of cold to break dormancy and germinate well in spring. January is ideal for sowing seeds like Eryngium (Sea Holly) or Aquilegia (Columbine) in pots or trays left outside in a sheltered spot (like a cold frame) to experience the winter chill.

Our January collection features seeds suitable for these specific techniques. Browse below and kick-start your growing season!
