Why choose flower seeds?

Sowing flowers is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing things you can do in the garden. Sowing your own flower seeds means you enjoy not only the end result but also the entire process: from choosing the seeds to seeing the first green shoots emerge. It also means you get the satisfaction of growing your own plants and learning what plants need, how the seasons work, and how everything grows.

In addition to that, self-sowing:

• Produces less waste than pre-grown plants
• Better for bees and butterflies , especially if you choose native species
• Offers more choice , so you decide what grows
• It is cheaper , especially if you harvest seeds yourself for next year
• More satisfying because you did it all yourself

Which flower seeds suit you?

At Plukkers, you can choose from flower seeds for every situation, purpose, and season. You can select flower seeds suitable for different soil types, such as clay, so you'll always make the right choice for your location. Do you want long-blooming plants for your balcony? Or perhaps wildflowers that fill your garden with color and insects? Below are a few suggestions:

Zinnia elegans

Summer bloomers with bright colors like red and soft shades like cream. Ideal for borders or for picking.

Nasturtium Alaska mix

Edible flowers and leaves. Beautiful, profusely flowering, and deliciously spicy in a salad.

Wildflower mix for bees and butterflies

Native species that transform your garden into a paradise for beneficial insects.

Still unsure? Start with a mix. This way, you'll discover what grows well in your garden or on your balcony. This mix will produce sown flowers that are attractive to bees and butterflies.

How to sow flower seeds

Sowing doesn't have to be complicated. Most flowers are sown between March and May, depending on the variety. Follow these steps:

1. Choose a sunny spot with loose, humus-rich soil
2. Break the soil and remove weeds and stones
   Handy: use seed tapes or seed pads to make sowing easier.
3. Sow the seeds thinly, ensuring they are spaced far enough apart so the young plants don't crowd each other. Cover the seeds lightly with soil.
4. Press gently and water carefully
5. Keep the soil moist until the first sprouts emerge

After one to three weeks, the first green tips often appear above the soil. After that, it's mainly a matter of watering during dry spells and occasionally cutting back spent flowers. This way, your garden will continue to bloom for a longer period.

Growing your own flowers from seed to mature plants is not only fun but also beneficial for biodiversity. You see the entire process: from seed to flowering plant, which ultimately produces new seeds.

Edible flowers: color and flavor in your garden

Edible flowers are a fantastic way to fill your garden not only with beautiful blooms but also with surprising flavors. Simply buy some flower seeds, sow them, and before you know it, you've given your vegetable garden, border, or even windowsill a cheerful and edible upgrade. Most edible flowers love plenty of sun and thrive in the ground, but they also grow into real eye-catchers in a flowerpot. And what's even better: bees and butterflies absolutely love them, so your garden will truly come to life.

Our selection includes a beautiful mix of edible flowers, from cheerful pink to sunny yellow, warm orange, and fresh white. Think of varieties like cosmos , nasturtium , and violets – all pesticide-free and of high quality. With our mixes, you can easily create a surprising color palette in your garden, perfect for a cozy pick-your-own garden or as a delicious decoration on your plate.

Sowing edible flowers isn't difficult at all: you can usually just sow the seeds directly in the ground, but pre-sowing them on the windowsill or in a seed tray is also perfectly fine. Once your plants are large enough, you can transplant them to a larger flowerpot or simply place them in the garden. With a little patience, you'll soon be enjoying a wealth of edible flowers, ready to pick and savor.

Edible flowers aren't just a feast for the eyes and taste buds, they're also beneficial for all the creatures in your garden. By choosing flower seeds, you're simply contributing to a healthy, vibrant natural environment around your home. Our shopping cart offers a wide variety of varieties and mixes, which we'll ship quickly and affordably. So choose your favorite seeds, get sowing, and enjoy a beautiful garden full of color and flavor!
