The first flowering annuals can be sown in containers from February and grown on a window sill in an apartment, a heated winter garden or a greenhouse.Many of these plants are not only bedding decorations, but also perfect material for bouquets.Mallows, marigolds, zinnias and cornflowers have always been found in rural gardens and were used to decorate rooms. Despite the passage of time, they are still eagerly grown.
The possibilities of arranging plants are endless - from single-color (monochrome) to multi-colored compositions. Bedding plantings may take the form of an islet on the lawn, a ribbon winding between paths or along the building.Arranging bouquets is pure pleasure.In order to keep flower shoots fresh for a long time, cut them in the morning hours and put them in lukewarm water.This treatment should be treated in terms of hygiene.
Only after about two hours we can remove the unnecessary leaves and trim the shoots again (diagonally).Only then we start arranging flowers.It is worth emphasizing that cutting stimulates many plants to bind new flowers and lush tillering. Some of the flowers should be left to bloom to collect the seeds later.
Big seeds are easier to sow
Some summer species, such as nasturtium and sunflower, can be sown in spots due to their large seeds. In this case, it is worth considering whether it is better to sow them immediately into separate pots, e.g. swelling peat pots. It is a very practical product.The dry pots are in the form of discs and are covered with a mesh. After watering, the discs swell and grow, taking the form of a cylinder. The rings are made of pressed peat and contain calcium and nutrients. Peat pots are placed in the ground together with the plants.
A great idea for the upcoming Valentine's Day are postcards that are fashionable in many European countries, which are also seed bags.Thus, a loved one receives a bouquet ready for sowing.Summer flowers bloom one season and are usually annuals. Usually, because there are also those that bloom only a year after sowing, i.e. they are in fact two years old.
These include, among others garden violet (pansy), common daisy, forest forget-me-not, garden bell.The seeds of annual plants are sown into the ground in mid-May.The contractual dates are cold gardeners and cold Zośka, which falls on May 15.
