seeds for autumn and winter colour

[Deleted User] · 2017-08-21 16:09:40

If I planted some seeds, like wildflower, would they give me some colour later in year, or is it too late to sow them? Or would there be any other type of flowers, I could grow from seed, for same ? Thanks.

The classic "wildflower mix" would not flower this year. Theyre really not teh best thing anyway from an environmental point of view - better to sow native, local ones if you can.

For colour this autumn, it is really too late to start sowing from seed.
Better way would be to buy small plants in pots/trays from hardware store or nursery.
