Prepare for a bustling gardening season by ordering these seven seeds in September, ensuring an early start to your sowing.
Autumn is a beautiful time for garden enthusiasts, as it offers the perfect opportunity to prepare for a bountiful spring. Here are some tips for the best plants to sow and seeds to order this September, ensuring a vibrant and colourful garden in the coming months.
The 'Autumn King' carrot variety is ideal for planting at this time of year. To ensure a successful harvest, it's best to grow them undercover, using greenhouses or vegetable plant covers, to protect them from frost. For radish lovers, 'Salad Rose Radish Seeds' from Burpee are perfect for growing radishes in fall, providing a fresh addition to your kitchen garden.
For those seeking to add a touch of elegance to their cottage garden schemes, hollyhocks are a must. These self-seeding flowers may reappear in the garden the following year after flowering. To ensure a controlled approach to growing hollyhocks, it's recommended to harvest hollyhock seeds after flowering for replanting.
Calendula seeds come in various varieties, such as 'Indian Prince' and 'Apricot Beauty'. These vibrant flowers can be grown in a wildflower garden, making bright additions, or in a traditional garden for an early flowering period next spring. Calendula seeds can be collected for sowing next fall after they stop flowering in late summer.
Nigella is another favourite for a cut flower garden, offering repeat blooms throughout spring and summer with proper pruning. Sowing Nigella seeds in September results in earlier blooms next spring, and the seeds can be collected from the seedpods for next year's sowing.
'Ammi majus' is a white filler foliage plant that attracts pollinators and is great for a fairy garden plant. It blooms from June to September, making it an ideal addition to any garden. 'Ammi majus' seeds can be ordered from Amazon.
Sweet peas can be sown indoors in fall for earlier blooms in spring. They are a popular choice for many gardeners, and their fragrant blooms are a delightful sight in the garden.
For those in Germany, September is an optimal month to order seeds for fall gardening. Columbine (Aquilegia), sweet peas (Edelwicke), and crocuses such as saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) and autumn crocus (Crocus speciosus) are among the best flowers to sow in Germany this month. Additionally, heather varieties like snow heather and bell heather can be planted, and it is also ideal for planting spring-flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and snowdrops for early next year.
