The best flowers for a beautiful summer garden

There is a long list of summer flowers that you can now prefer at home in bowls or pots. Some robust flower species can even be sown directly in the garden from March. These are, for example, marigold (Calendula), cornflower (Centaurea), summer azalea (Clarkia or Codetia), candytuft (Iberis) and maiden in the green (Nigella).
By the way, the term summer flowers means the so-called annual flower varieties that only bloom for one summer. Summer flowers that you could sow immediately in pots or bowls on the windowsill include snapdragons (Antirrhinum), spider flower (Cleome), Levkoje (Matthiola), ornamental tobacco (Nicotiana), coneflower (Rudbeckia), flour sage (Salvia farinacea), tagetes and zinnias (zinnia). It is important to ensure that you do not plant several types of flower seeds in the same bowl or in the same pot. This is important because the germination times of the various types of flowers are very different.
Some types of summer flowers do not need special preparation. You can just as easily plant them outdoors in April or May.

How to make your summer garden shine

Some types of summer flowers do not need special preparation. You can just as easily plant them outdoors in April or May. But it is always worth trying, because this is the fastest way to learn!
A few of the annual, blooming summer flowers don’t like it at all if they are transplanted in the course of their growing season. These types of flowers include, for example, sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus), mussel flowers (Moluccella) and summer phox (Phlox drummondi). They will all be brought forward from March. You should sow them individually, i.e. in peat growing pots, and later simply plant them in the garden with the growing pots.

Pre-cultivate summer flowers and vegetables:

1. Sow. Distribute the seeds evenly on the seed compost in seed trays. In the case of dark germs, sieve the substrate over it and squeeze it out.
2. Pour. Pour the seeds until they are soft and cover with a transparent plastic cover, glass plate or foil. Keep bright and warm.
3. Prick out. When the first correct leaves appear after the cotyledons, it can be pricked out. To do this, carefully lift the roots of the seedlings out of the earth with the prick stick.
4. Planting. Fill peat pots with seed compost. Make planting holes with the prick stick and insert the young plants up to the cotyledons. Pour softly. Place warm, very bright, but not sunny.
5. Sharpening and hardening. So that the plants branch out bushily, clip off the tips. Keep in a very bright but cool place in the garden.
