Flower Seeds

Heirloom flower seeds for beds, borders and bouquets

Here you will find the annual workhorses (zinnia, cosmos, marigold, sunflower, calendula, nasturtium) that bloom their first summer, alongside cottage-garden classics like hollyhock, snapdragon, columbine, pansy, poppy and daisy. Every variety was chosen for long bloom, easy growth and old-fashioned charm rather than florist-trade uniformity.

How to choose flower seeds

For fast color in the first year, plant annuals: zinnia, cosmos, marigold and sunflower are the reliable four. For a cutting garden, zinnias, snapdragons and cosmos give the longest vase life. For pollinators, single-flowered varieties beat fancy doubles. For edible petals, nasturtium and calendula. Perennials and biennials like hollyhock and columbine reward a season of patience with years of bloom.

Growing flowers from seed

Most annual flowers are direct sown where they will bloom, after the last frost, in full sun. Sow at the depth on the packet, keep the soil moist until sprouted, then let them run: many go from seed to first flower in 8 to 10 weeks. Each variety's free growing guide covers the details.
