Flower Seeds

Why Plant Flower Seeds?

There are countless reasons why you should plant seeds for flowers. Not only do they make your garden more beautiful, but they can also save you money – and even help you grow your own vegetables!

Every garden benefits from a splash of colour. Planting flower seeds is the perfect way to liven up your outdoor space, even if that's a balcony or patio. Even a small pot of flowers can make a huge difference, transforming your outside area into a more vibrant and enjoyable environment.

Cut flowers are a natural delight that should be available in abundance. Yet thanks to the cost of buying flowers from a florist, we tend to see them as more of a gift item or luxury. When you plant seeds for flowers, you create your own plentiful supply of sweet-scented blooms. Whether given as a thoughtful gift or brought indoors for decoration, they'll put a smile on your face – at a fraction of the cost of a visit to the florist.

Planting flower seeds in your vegetable patch is surprisingly beneficial, helping you maintain natural balance in your garden. The strong scents of certain flowers can confuse pests and attract pollinators, helping your vegetables produce a healthier and more plentiful harvest, this is known as companion planting.
