be great. It has been a miserable year for seedlings. It will depend on the type of seeds, you can sow biennials now, hardy annuals can be sown in the autumn for early summer flowers. It is too late for tender plants but if you have a cold frame you could

're still very tiny. As nutculet says seed sowing can be a bit hit and miss. I've had a poor run of germination this year but a lot were old seeds needing to be sown this year and with hinde sight were probably stored in too warm a place.   Some biennials

, Euonymus, Skimmia, Geraniums, Hebes, Aquilegia, Heuchera, Astilbe, Ferns, Foxgloves (biennial and perennial) Lonicera nitida, Clematis (with their heads in the sun) and that's not including things I don't have but want such as Brunnera Jack Frost

and location. At this time of year I am doing much better with biennials. Which annuals are you trying? Can I reccommend this article  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/howtogrow/9039365/Grow-your-own-cut-flowers.html  Hello flora4, If you want to cut

  are biennials and  brilliant self seeders, so if you sow seeds now you should have flowers next year. There are loads of seed suppliers, in my haste I didn't even read the sowing instructions properly but they still germinated- I have loads of plants, really

Biennial. I think milk thistle too.....ya live and learn!  It will be moved as it's blocking an area I need to get to but I'll keep it for the bees Looks more like E.variifolium to me. At least yours is attractive.  I bought a pack with 2 seeds mats

Is it ok to sow Foxglove seeds now as I want them to flower next year. Yes-they may be late in flowering but they should flower next year They are biennials, sown one year, flowering the next. Did some t'other day. BTW the seedlings are caviar

- they should then produce new shoots from low down. A bit of a feed at the same time won't go amiss. These are really a short lived perennial usually treated as a biennial and ditched after one year' flowering and new plants raised each year from seed-they do

toxic insect kiler. Rust is such a major problem for hollyhocks that they are really best treated as a biennial. They will almost certainly get infected in their first year of flowering, and rust spores will splash up from the soil onto lower leaves

which will soon be ready for planting out http://www.thompson-morgan.com/flowers/flower-seeds/perennial-and-biennial-seeds/digitalis-purpurea-pams-choice/4225TM , which I hope will bring some light to a dark corner under some trees - they're the first
