The New Year holidays are almost over, which means it's time to sow flowers.
Once the summer cottage season begins, there may not be enough time, so January is considered the best time for this.
Let's figure out which flowers can be sown now.
Why sow flowers in January
In addition to saving time, winter sowing has a number of advantages.
Firstly, it allows perennials to bloom in the first year after sowing.
Secondly, this time is considered the best for planting those plants that take 130 to 180 days from sowing to the first flower.
These colors include:
- petunia;
- eustoma;
- lavender;
- verbena;
- snapdragon;
- primrose;
- ever-flowering begonia, etc.
For example, if you plant delphinium in January, it will delight you with flowering the same year.
You can also plant garden strawberries, leeks and root celery during this period.
But it is too early to sow peppers for seedlings, since the plant will have to be illuminated for 12 to 14 hours a day, otherwise the plants will simply stretch out or freeze without developing.
