Amazing Flowers to Direct Seed in Your Naturalistic Garden

There is something simple and rewarding about direct seeding. Most seeds are inexpensive and small, easy to transport and save without much fuss. And yet, for something so small they can add so much: seasonal interest and colour, habitat and pollinator food sources plus visual texture, form and connection. Amazing flower seeds can also help to conserve or restore native or endangered species, add bio-diversity and build soil health.

There is also a particular magic that comes from witnessing natures power to create living plants when something that fits in the palm of your hand comes into contact with soil. And that's exactly what direct seeding involves, literally tossing or placing seeds directly in the garden where they will grow and mature.

Not only is it a simple method but it is a great one. Plant roots won't be confined to the dimensions of a seeding tray or small pot, but rather stretch and grow naturally and most importantly connect to other plants, mycelia, nutrients and water sources in a natural way creating strong efficient mature plants.

They may become hardy survivors, temporary triumphs or total nonstarters as conditions allow. The trick, as always is to work with nature rather than against it, in a naturalistic way. Most of these seeds are easy starters but don't be discouraged if things don't work out as planned, rather learn a bit more each time you seed and you'll soon be on the right track.
