The propagation of annual garden flowers occurs, as a rule, due to seeds. This plant, depending on the timing of the growing season, can be grown by sowing seeds in open ground or through seedlings.
An annual flower with a long growing season, as well as a large interval from seedling to flowering, is grown using seedlings. Its sowing is carried out from the beginning of February and ends with the beginning of April. Planting depends on the climatic conditions of its cultivation. Typically, such plants have rather
small flowers, in which the supply of necessary substances for nutrition is scanty, and the development of the culture in the initial stage is slow. However, it is worth knowing that too early a sowing period is not justified, since at the end of the summer season this species loses its attractiveness.
Annual garden
flowers (photo below) are mostly unpretentious and quite beautiful. These crops can be grown by sowing seeds in a fairly early period directly in the open ground. The sown place for the first time for normal germination of flowers must be covered with plastic wrap. She does not clean until the very first shoots.
It happens that an
annual flower grows from a seed, which is quite large and has a large supply of nutrients. Sprouts from these seeds appear quite quickly, so they can be bred by the seedling method. These are calendula, matthiol, gypsophila, godetia, cosmea, allisum, lavater and others. These cultures look great against the background of large group plantings. However, they do not require special care.
Plants that propagate by self-sowing - garden flowers, photos and names are given in this article - reseda, forget-me-not, annual poppy.
Reseda has a high inflorescence of snow-white flowers. This plant is quite decorative and aristocratic. Such an annual flower is unpretentious. Reseda perfectly emphasizes the beauty of other seasonal flowers and herbs growing nearby. This representative of the flora has an excellent aroma. This culture, due to its clear contours, belongs to the category of designer plants.
Forget-me-nots are rather unpretentious to the growing conditions of the culture. They can bloom both in the sun and in partial shade. This plant prefers well-permeable fresh moist loamy soil. The soil should be fertilized with organic substances, such as humus, or well-rotted compost. Forget-me-not blooming begins early. Due to this, they are often used in compositions in conjunction with bulb plants. This annual flower creates a delicate background for such bright plants as decorative bows, tulips, daffodils, tall hazel grouse. Due to the fact that forget-me-nots love moist soil, they are perfect for designing ponds.
Annual poppies look pretty pretty planted in large groups of various colors and shapes. Also, they can fill empty spaces among perennial plants that bloom in the second half of summer.
