\n\n\n\nJanuary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Icelandic Poppy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If the soil can be worked, sow poppy seeds directly outdoors; otherwise, start them in biodegradable pots in an unheated greenhouse or cold frame. Avoid root disturbance when planting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFebruary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Cape Daisy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nMarch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Calendula<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nApril<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Baby\u2019s Breath (Gypsophila)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
April\u2019s warming weather makes this the perfect month for direct outdoor sowing. Keep the soil evenly moist to support germination \u2014 these delicate plants dislike transplanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nMay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Strawflower<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In colder climates, start seeds indoors 3\u20134 weeks before the last frost; in warmer zones, sow directly outdoors once temperatures stabilize. Excellent for cutting and drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nJune<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Zinnia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Choose a sunny, well-drained spot and sow seeds straight into the garden. Pinch young plants to encourage bushier growth and even more blooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nJuly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Coneflower (Echinacea)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sow seeds in trays, allowing seedlings to reach about three inches tall before hardening off and planting out. Blossoms will appear the following summer \u2014 and every year after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nAugust<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Lunaria (Honesty)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sweet Pea<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Delphinium<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Snapdragon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
