Seeds to Sow in October

Don't put your trowel away just yet! October is the perfect time to embrace autumn sowing and get a head start on a truly magnificent cottage garden display next spring and summer. By sowing Hardy Annuals now, you're working with nature, allowing these tough flowers to establish strong roots over winter.

Why Sow Hardy Annuals in Autumn?

Earlier Flowers: Get blooms weeks ahead of spring sowings!

Bigger, Stronger Plants: Overwintering develops robust root systems.

More Resilient: Plants are better equipped to handle weather fluctuations.

What to Sow Directly Outdoors in October: This collection features our favourite hardy annuals perfect for direct sowing this month. Think classic cottage garden staples like vibrant Cornflowers, cheerful Calendula (Pot Marigold), delicate Nigella (Love-in-a-Mist), beautiful Larkspur, and essential fillers like Ammi majus. Prepare your soil, scatter the seeds, and let the autumn rains help them settle in.

You can also start Sweet Peas in deep pots or root trainers in a cold frame this month for the strongest possible plants. Browse our October sowing collection and invest in next year's beauty today!
