The key is to know

The key to know is how long it will take for each of these different plants to flower after it germinates. Each of the flower seeds we have below will flower a little later in the summer than if you had planted the seed earlier indoors, but they will also flower well into the fall past when other plants stop flowering, extending their color and beauty.

Sowing Seeds Can be Tricky

When considering direct sowing seeds, it’s also great to know how far a part each seed needs to be sown from each other or other plants and how deep to sow that seed, otherwise your seeds might not grow as healthy or at all.

That’s why using an accurate seed sowing tool, like the Little Dibby and the Dibby XL, is so important for high seed germination and more!
