Raising flowers from seed is something every Canadian gardener can
do and there is enormous satisfaction in doing it yourself. It is
inexpensive and not difficult so don't be put off by those who say
you must have a green thumb. Just follow the instructions on the
seed packet and the seed will do the rest. In fact, most flowers
are as easy to grow as vegetables.
The author describes the flowers grown from seed. He records his
successes and failures, the different varieties he has grown and
the ones he recommends for climatic zone 5a. Since 1986, he has
created 20 different gardens as he expanded flowerbeds, cut into
lawns and coaxed odd corners of his garden into bloom. Each year's
garden is significantly different from the previous ones, made
necessary as he turned out an abundance of seedlings that had to
find growing space somewhere. By choosing different varieties a
unique garden is possible as you are not restricted to plants
available at your local garden centre. Take walks in your
neighbourhood to see which flowers do well and the ones that appeal
to you. Then buy seeds appropriate to your local plant hardiness
zone. There are hundreds and hundreds of varieties available and I
have indicated those that have done well for me and chosen to grow
again.
