It's too early to start sowing vegetable seeds for seedlings. But already now you can think about what flowers you would like to grow on your site. And start sowing them in January. What colors is it time to do now? You can start sowing those that, firstly, have a long period of development, and, secondly, which require stratification
Variegated flowering of aquilegia
Aquilegia is one of the perennials that you can start sowing in January. You may also know this flower as the eagle or catchment.
It is a hardy plant. Height - approx. 50 to 100 cm. There are different varieties with different colors of petals - blue, golden, pink, white, red.
Aquilegia blooms in the second year. But to get the buds already in the first, you can resort to such a trick as stratification. In the future, it multiplies by self-seeding. They also resort to reproduction by dividing the bushes, but this flower does not tolerate transplantation very well.
Lush Saxifrage Carpet
If you need to plant a ground cover plant, you should take a closer look at such a perennial as saxifrage. It is also a hardy plant. And there are varieties with different colors of flowers.
It propagates both by sowing seeds and by dividing adult plants. Suitable for decorating rocky areas, arranging borders around a flower bed or next to an artificial reservoir.
Balsam blooms all summer
Balsam will become a real decoration of the site - it is touch-sensitive. Pay attention to the packaging before buying seeds, whether it is indoor or garden.
Unlike aquilegia and saxifrage, balsam does not tolerate frost. Therefore, it is grown as an annual plant, although there are perennial varieties.
But in defense of balsam, it is worth noting that it will bloom all summer, from May until the very frosts. In addition, the flowers perfectly tolerate transplantation and very easily and quickly nestle in a new place, even during the flowering process.
And pansies opened on the site
Another brightly flowering plant that will be in place in any area is the delicate viola, also known as pansies and violets. These flowers can be propagated by sowing in open ground in the spring. But then they will dissolve their delicate petals only next year. And if you want flowers to bloom on your flowerbed as soon as possible, then you can start sowing in room conditions already in January.
Bright flowers and delicate aroma
For those who appreciate not only lush beautiful flowers, but also a delicate pleasant aroma in ornamental garden plants, you should think about starting phlox planting. Sowing can be carried out both in January in room conditions, and in March in greenhouses or in April in open ground.
Dark blue vanilla
Another representative of the floral world that has a captivating aroma with hints of vanilla is heliotrope. Another advantage is its long flowering, which begins approximately in the middle of summer and does not end until the very frost. In order for the heliotrope to appear in all its glory, remember that it should be allocated an open sunny area. The flowers are dark blue, lilac and purple.
Primrose is afraid of the bright sun
A gentle primrose or primrose will not leave anyone indifferent. But this flower cannot stand bright light. It is better for primrose to take a partial shade place under the lacy foliage of trees, shrubs or other taller flowers. Also pay attention to which variety you are buying - soil or pot.
Irish rose or eustoma
The Irish rose, also known as eustoma or lisianthus, develops very slowly. But flowers, in their decorativeness, are not inferior to roses. In addition, the plant is suitable for cutting and stands well in a vase.
