Flower Seeds

Imagine a garden filled with yellow marigolds, bright red zinnias, and fragrant gardenias. They didn't just appear out of nowhere! Someone took the time to carefully plant the seeds–which is where any beautiful garden begins.

People have been planting flower seeds for centuries, as flowers add color, texture, and life to the surrounding landscape. Flower seeds also have other uses. They can be edible or used in arts and crafts projects. Oil, such as found in the sunflower seed, can be extracted and used for cooking.

Different types of seed have specific handling requirements. Some can be sown directly in the ground, while others should be sown indoors. Some seeds grow fast and others grow slow. And each seed type thrives in different conditions: warm or cool climates, arid or humid conditions, shade or full sun. Learning about the needs of each type of seed will help ensure a healthy life–and beautiful flowers.
