The Autumn Seed Sowing Flower Box

Hardy annuals are the bedrock of a cutting garden. Our Autumn Seed Sowing Flower Box is the perfect, thoughtful present for the garden lover who loves to plan ahead and get a head start on next year's blooms.

There is just something so satisfying about sowing in September/October. Knowing you have the beginnings of your cut flower garden underway so that come spring you can concentrate on the half-hardy annuals and not be completely swamped by seeds!

The Magic of Autumn Sowing

Autumn-sown plants will concentrate on forming good root systems throughout the winter and then burst into wonderful growth when the temperatures start to pick up in spring. This simple step will give you earlier, stronger, and more productive plants.

Hardy annuals are usually sown around mid-September. After the autumn equinox, there is more darkness than light, so the seeds aren't tempted to rush ahead and flower too fast, only to be caught out in the first frosts. This method gives you robust, healthy plants ready for a spectacular spring display.
