If you are finding that you have got a bit of a lull in flowers in your garden right now, the spring bulbs that were bright and cheery have gone over but its too early for hardy annuals to be flowering yet, then you need to fill your garden with biennials. These are flowers that you sow now, let grow over autumn and winter and then they flower in late spring next year. I know a whole year to wait but they are so worth it and you will be thanking us all at Higgledy garden this time next year, I promise you!
Many are scented, lots are loved by bees, some, like Honesty, have fabulous seed heads for drying and many are very floriferous for cutting. They are the quintessential cottage garden flowers, Foxgloves, Sweet Rocket, Sweet William all giving you armfulls of flowers for the house at a time when they are much needed. The scent of Wallflowers or Sweet William in a posy will bring an extra bit of joy to your day. The stately spire of Foxgloves and Canterbury bells adds an extra dimension to your garden and the bees especially love a foxglove, that hum of a bee inside a foxglove flower is the sound of early summer to me. Have we convinced you yet?!
This might then as we have reduced the price by 10%. We will all be helping you along with seed sowing with blogs, Instagram posts and sow-alongs. Or go to the Higgledy Garden seed sowing guide for how to sow all the varieties.
