Sow Your Flower Seeds In Autumn

Get a jump start on spring and sow next year's flowers this fall...

Some flowers will not make blossoms the same year that you sow them, while others simply grow better and bloom sooner if planted in fall rather than in spring.

Here on wet, west coast (Zone 7) we sow seeds in October or November, after the beds have been cleaned, prepped for winter, and the fall rains have begun.

If you are in a zone 5 area, sow your seeds in late September or October, before it snows.

* Please read seed packages and select plants suitable for your area and gardening zone.    

Feed your soil with manure, compost, amendments (if needed) and organic matter before you sow.
