In every locality there is always at least one area where country houses are located, which are becoming increasingly in demand. At the same time, their owners are actively looking for various decorations for their garden plots, and the best among them, undoubtedly, are decorative flowers and shrubs. That is why a business in plants for the garden and local area will be very profitable, especially considering that this area is still poorly covered.
How to sell plants?The first step is to clearly define the range of “green” products that the enterprise will specialize in. It can be:
- plants for winter gardens - they are very easy to work with, especially for a beginner, since they are very hardy
- exotic flowers (they require a very careful approach, so it is better to choose them only for specialists who have been doing business with plants for several years)
- any flowers that decorate flower beds (asters, violets, azaleas, daffodils, tulips, etc.)
- plants that can bloom from spring to late autumn
- green shrubs and bushes of flowering plants
- plants for alpine slides
- seedlings of annuals and perennials
As a rule, the entrepreneur grows seeds for seedlings, sprouts and seedlings himself. At the same time, a plant growing business can be organized right on your own balcony - there you can place small “beds”, from which you can get an excellent “batch” of flowers and bushes for sale. Those who have their own land can develop a business on it. In addition, you can periodically purchase interesting new products from other sellers, and some plants can be obtained independently in forests and plantings, even without having a place to grow them (however, in this case you need to clearly know how the “production” will grow, and what from it will work out later).
To start growing plants for sale, you only need one thing - to organize an individual entrepreneur and register with the tax office. A simplified taxation system is suitable for such work.
Business on plants: how to make good money? When selling seedlings and seeds, you shouldn’t limit yourself to just this! You can offer clients a number of additional services that will allow you to earn more. It could be:
- design of flower beds and alpine slides
- landscape design
- rental of gardening tools
- caring for already purchased plants
An entrepreneur can offer his services either in his own office (you can rent a small room in a place convenient for clients) or simply in the market. Moreover, the sale of garden plants can also be carried out via the Internet - all you need to do is create a website with offers. In such a situation, you can work from home.
If you want to constantly be in contact with potential clients in specialized markets, you will need to rent a sales space. Also, if an entrepreneur has enough funds, he can create his own store. And, of course, in any case, we must not forget about visiting specialized fairs and exhibitions, which will provide more for business development than just standing at the counter.
Investments and profits: what will a plant growing business give?This type of activity is unique in that the entrepreneur himself chooses how much money to invest in future work. He can, for example, spend:
- 5-7 thousand rubles - to create “beds” on your balcony or garden plot
- 7-9 thousand – for renting a place in the market or in a specialized store
- 15-20 thousand - to create a website for sale on the Internet
- 50-100 thousand (minimum) – to open your own store (you can rent a retail outlet and make minimal repairs to it)
In fact, only a few expenses remain constant, and the main one among them is the cost of purchasing the seedlings or seeds themselves. Typically, 1 unit of seedlings costs 100-200 rubles, a bush seedling costs 200-300 rubles, and a set of seeds costs up to 100 rubles. In order for the sale of garden plants to be successful, you first need to purchase at least 10 varieties of each product - that is, at least 10 varieties of flowers, 10 types of plants and 10 different bushes. This will cost 10-15 thousand rubles (if you wish, you can spend more).
You will also need to purchase gardening tools, and their total cost will depend on what is included in the kit - you can spend 20 thousand rubles, or you can end up spending 50-70 thousand.
After this, all types of plants need to be planted at home to see what will grow from them. Then the seeds from the resulting plants and flowers, seedlings and shoots can be sold, increasing the price by 30-50%. This can give a profit of up to 20 thousand rubles per month, and when the plant business develops a little - up to 50 thousand. Then the income will increase due to additional services, individual orders, work on client sites... And if the entrepreneur is truly dedicated to his business and will sell plants with pleasure, the circle of his customers will begin to increase from .
An exciting hobby, growing flowers can be a good source of income. To get started, you need a little: a love of plants, hard work and, for the first time, a room that will house a flower “laboratory”. These are, perhaps, all the main components necessary to start growing flowers for sale at home.
Love of flowers and hard work are good, but at the first stage you need to think about what kind of flowers you will grow. It is best to select the most popular and in-demand plants, but do not forget about rare ones.
Before starting a project, you should think about the practical side of the issue. The first thing to take care of is the premises. To begin with, almost any area is suitable: a room in an apartment, a garage, a utility room. The main necessary conditions for work are connection to electricity and heating in winter.
You can start growing flowers at home for sale in an apartment, but the best option would still be a room in a private house where there are large windows. In terms of area, a room of 20 m² will be the most comfortable - it can accommodate up to 150 plants.
Flower business does not require a lot of investment, but it is necessary to stock up on knowledge in the field of cultivation. Therefore, take the time to collect information about the lighting of flowers, their growing conditions, soil, and watering. All this data is easy to find in specialized literature and on the Internet.
A business selling flowers can be started in three directions:
The most profitable time for selling flowers is the winter season. To grow flowering specimens in cold weather, you should definitely have a greenhouse. In this case, the costs will go to construction; you will have to purchase seed material and fertilizers. Everything else depends only on your hard work and knowledge of agricultural technology.
The right approach to growing flowers in a greenhouse for sale brings excellent profits. At the initial stage, in order to avoid high costs, you can use ordinary greenhouses or nurseries made of polyethylene. You should definitely pay attention to purchasing good quality planting material.
Sometimes in the flower business it is difficult to predict the demand for a particular type of plant in the coming season. Although the constant favorites: tulips, petunias, chrysanthemums, roses are always a priority, it is worth taking an interest in new trends, maintaining contacts with other entrepreneurs, and visiting flower exhibitions to keep up with new products.
There are two options for selling the flowers you grow: independent sale or wholesale through resellers. Of course, the first option is more profitable, but it requires a break from the main business. But if you work with someone in a team, for example, a family, then this is very convenient and profitable. You know exactly how things are done, you have a better sense of demand and are sure that the seller is interested in good sales and the preservation of plants. If you have not yet expanded and are working alone, then you should still resort to the services of resellers. In this case, you don’t need to spend your time and money on sales, delivery and payment for the outlet, but it is better to completely engage in growing flowers, increasing volumes and expanding the range.
ConclusionGrowing flowers for sale at home is a painstaking and at the same time exciting business with minimal investment (for the maintenance of flowers, fertilizers and the purchase of new seeds). The profit received can exceed 300% (especially on holidays) and become both the main and additional source of permanent income. If growing flowers brings you pleasure, then with proper organization of affairs, running such a business is not difficult and you will definitely achieve success.
Many connoisseurs of indoor plants strive to purchase an expensive and rare specimen for their collection. Such flowers may not be very attractive, but they have an original appearance in any case. A distinctive feature of most of these plants is their difficulty in care. Here is a list of the most expensive indoor flowers.
Blue TillandsiaThis plant has a deep pink inflorescence in the shape of a spike. It grows slowly and is extremely demanding on living conditions. The room where it is located should have a temperature of 18 to 25 degrees above zero. High humidity is necessary, and tillandsia can be planted exclusively in a leaf mixture that contains charcoal and peat with crushed bark.
It is a hanging plant with bare stems and bright green glossy leaves. It looks very unusual due to the orange flowers of the original shape. Hypocyrta does not tolerate sudden temperature changes and dry air. In summer it requires sunlight, and in winter it requires temperatures up to 15 degrees above zero.
A very original plant with brownish flowers. It is demanding in terms of care, which is why it is almost impossible to grow it at home. Only a greenhouse or winter garden is suitable for this. During the pollination process, this flower needs flies.
A plant with large flowers with long and thin “teeth”. It needs to be fed flies from time to time, and sometimes the flower catches them itself, attracting them with an unpleasant aroma.
A very unusual plant, the flowers of which have the aroma of spoiled meat. It is very important not to damage the roots during the transplantation process, otherwise the flower will die.
Another rare and therefore expensive plant. It has a unique appearance and rather slow growth. The flower does not tolerate frost very well and needs good soil drainage. It can develop normally only in a dry climate, and during the dormant period it cannot be watered at all.
It is better to start growing flowers with the most popular and rare plants. To start this small business, your own apartment will do; over time, you will be able to better understand this business and increase your scale.
To start your own business, in addition to choosing a direction of activity, you need to resolve organizational issues. The first question is choosing a room for your “plantation”. The area for this business can be almost any, depending on your desires and capabilities. But, based on the dimensions of the hydroponic installation, it should be at least 5 sq.m. You can use a spare room, garage or shed. The main criterion for choosing a room is the availability of electricity and heating.
Before starting this type of business, you will need to read materials about growing indoor flowers, what kind of lighting they need, what kind of soil, how often they need to be watered, and so on; you can get all the necessary information from specialized literature, as well as from the Internet, on forums etc.
You can start a flower growing business in an apartment, but the most suitable for these purposes is a private house with a separate room with large windows.

It is advisable that the area of the room that is planned to be used for growing flowers should be at least 20 sq.m.
So in a room with an area of 20 square meters, you can place up to 100-150 plants; the time to care for this number of plants will take 1.5-2 hours a day.
Growing Saintpaulia:
Costs $200 for the purchase of seedlings (children) at $1.5 per piece. The shelving was made from scrap material, and the lamps were also used.
Now what I did during these six months:
1. Having transplanted the children into larger pots, for 2 months I mercilessly tore off leaves from them for planting (for those who don’t know, violets reproduce by cuttings).
2. The purchased seedlings bloomed after 2-3 months and were sold for $5 through a flower shop (pots, moss, and soil were purchased with this money).
3. After 4 months, the torn leaves produced 3-6 babies each.
At the moment I have about 500 young plants that can be made to bloom at any time I need (you put them under the light and they bloom in 1.5-2 months).
The breeding process is in full swing, I plan to grow and sell 1000 pieces by March 8th. $5 each = $5000 with the cost of each flower (pot+moss+soil) less than $1.
Growing hyacinths
To start growing hyacinths at home, you need to purchase hyacinth bulbs. Then we buy pots of different sizes, fill them with soil for flowers and plant hyacinths one at a time in a pot; you can plant three in large pots. We plant the bulbs shoulder-deep, like the simple bulbous flowers we grow at home. The initial cultivation of hyacinths should take place at a temperature no higher than five degrees for 2 months; it is called forcing. During this time, tufts of leaves 6-8 centimeters should appear from the bulbs.
Growing hyacinths at home is best done on north-facing windows, then they will be beautiful and fluffy. By changing the temperature, you can regulate the start of flowering, so growing flowers for sale can be adjusted right to the holiday. You can use disposable beer glasses for seedlings, but you need to make holes in the bottom. At room temperature, hyacinths will begin to bloom within two weeks.
The business of growing hyacinth flowers at home for sale is very profitable, since the profitability of this business is 400%, so it is better to set prices for hyacinth flowers one and a half times lower than the Dutch ones. It is better to buy bulbs from wholesale companies.
Once you start your business growing plants all year round, you will not be disappointed, as its profitability is more than 150%. Plant productivity in such installations is very good. For example, from one sq.m. you can get 35 kg. onions, 12 kg. parsley, 400 pcs. tulips, 500 pcs. daffodils or gladioli, etc.
It is not difficult to organize the sale of products, since such plants are environmentally friendly and will be in demand in shops, restaurants, cafes, canteens at enterprises, kindergartens, etc.
Initial costs: 40 thousand rubles. Monthly income: from 30 thousand rubles.

Recently, many acquaintances have approached me with one request: tell me which flowers are profitable to grow for sale in order to receive a tangible income. At the same time, not only women, but also men applied. One of them once shared: “Imagine, I took extra vegetables from my garden to the market by car and sold less than the woman who was selling flower bulbs nearby.” So the workers of the earth have to turn their gaze in that direction - where they can earn more. And growing flowers is often that life-giving trickle that will help you get through difficult times. Moreover, retraining from a vegetable grower to a florist is not so difficult if you have the desire and ability to work on the land.
What to grow vegetables or flowers for saleMany of my friends who grew vegetables in film greenhouses switched to growing flower seedlings for sale. And now, when I ask them: “Would you like to go back to vegetables again? After all, people probably think more about what to eat and don’t care about flowers at all?” They answer in the negative. And they add: “Yes, people have begun to buy flower seedlings less, but they still buy because not everyone is left without work. But we still wouldn’t earn that much on vegetables.”
This probably makes sense. Vegetable cultivation is carried out not only by private owners, but also by private enterprises and farms, including large ones, with which it is not easy to compete. But there are not many farms that grow flower planting material. I think it won’t be long before automated greenhouse complexes begin to appear en masse - after all, huge amounts of money need to be invested in them! So private traders still have room to expand.
Anyone who has visited the countries of Western and Central Europe could not help but notice that almost every balcony and courtyard there is decorated with flowering plants. I saw the most bright and lush flower arrangements in neighboring Poland. Why are we worse? Especially when so many little-known species and new chic varieties have come to our flower market from the West! Over the past decade, people have increasingly begun to decorate their garden plots with previously inaccessible plants and have become so accustomed to it that they practically cannot deny themselves such pleasure. So it turns out that even in an unstable financial situation, they try to carve out a certain amount to buy the flowers they like.
And one more argument. The range of ornamental plants is huge - many times wider than vegetables. And you can select many species that grow well (for example, in a greenhouse) under the same conditions, which cannot be said about vegetables. Considering both of these factors, you can always find plants that suit you and have a constant source of income.
To all that has been said, I will add that growing flower seedlings for sale is not only one of the ways to make money. These are also numerous moments of delight and pleasure that the beautiful creations of Nature give us.
Well, now let’s talk about what needs to be taken into account when selling flower planting material and what ornamental plants you should pay attention to.
GreenhouseThose who have a greenhouse have the most opportunities. It is best, of course, if it is a stationary heated greenhouse. If you can’t afford one, build the simplest film one - believe me, your capabilities will expand significantly. You should also consider where you live. It’s good if you live near a large regional center - here, as a rule, purchasing power is higher and there is a demand for expensive plants.
TransportIt is also a good idea to have your own car - you will deliver the plants to the place of sale carefully and in a much larger volume (especially when it comes to flowering seedlings). But the lack of a car is not an obstacle to the implementation of your plans. For example, you can find wholesale buyers (the same landscapers) who will come to your home and pick up the grown products. The price in this case will be lower than if you yourself sold the planting material on the market. You do not spend money on delivery, payment for retail space, and most importantly, you will have time to maintain and expand your mini-production. And if you start selling bulbs or growing compact perennials, you can deliver such plants to the place of sale without a personal car.
Advertising in actionI also want to give advice for those who live in small towns - make a luxurious flower garden in front of your house. If your site is surrounded by a high solid fence, plant beautiful vines that would be visible from the street, and create a small flower bed on the street side. In general, make it clear that you have a lot of beautiful plants. Countrymen or visiting summer residents, admiring your flowers, will probably ask if you can sell them this or that plant. And over time, your circle of clients will only expand.
Seasonality of the flower businessIt should be borne in mind that trading in any planting material is a seasonal matter (of course, if you are not the owner of a flower shop). Plants sell best in the spring - by this time you should have the widest range of plants for sale. In the fall, bulbs and blooming chrysanthemums do well, but the roots of perennials are not so readily taken, complaining that winter is ahead. And even explanations that it is preferable to plant winter-hardy plants in the fall do not always help.
The period for selling plants, and therefore earnings, can be significantly expanded.
- From the end of February they are already starting to buy lily bulbs (we will return to this later).
- In March, you can add botanical crocuses blooming in pots and shrub cuttings rooted in the past season to the lilies.
- From April to early June is the peak of sales, when everything that is grown can be sold.
- From mid-June to August - sale of blooming lilies.
- September-October is the period of sales of bulbous plants and rhizomatous perennials.
In addition, from April to October you can sell indoor plants grown both from seeds and cuttings. And, of course, you can always add surplus vegetables from your plot to the flower products - with a wide range of products on offer, it’s always easier to make money.
Best Selling Plants and Flowers from SeedsI want to focus on those plants that can be grown from seeds and that sell well. I'll start with indoor flowers.
Seedlings of indoor flowers- First of all, I would recommend abutilons to you - they sprout without much difficulty, grow quickly, bloom in the year of sowing and are available in a wide range of colors.
For example, from a mixture of seeds I got plants with white, cream, yellow and pink flowers, although orange-flowered plants are most often sold in markets. And the “Bella F1” variety series is distinguished by its compact size and large (7 cm in diameter) flowers. In the future, you can propagate the most successful seedlings by cuttings.
- If you have a greenhouse, you can sow tuberous begonia - it is always readily taken in a blooming state (you just need to take into account that seedlings bloom 135-150 days after emergence).
- A blooming Brugmansi always causes a sensation - believe me, if you are willing to sell one such plant, the whole market will come to admire its huge fragrant flowers.
In addition, Brugmansia reproduces well from cuttings - it is enough to have one queen cell.
- Hypoestes blood-red and Coleus Blume sell well - their colorful leaves always attract attention. These plants also take cuttings well.
- The blooming fiery red kufeya, and, of course, the hybrid fuchsia, are easy to care for and invariably attract the eye.
- Blooming passionflowers are no less delightful - just remember that the flower lasts only a day, so give the plant the opportunity to form more buds.
- You can realize zonal pelargonium from the “Black Velvet” series even without flowers - after all, it has extraordinary foliage! In addition, these plants are easily propagated by cuttings.
- For sophisticated buyers, you can offer Strelitzia royale and St. Nicholas (the second is especially rare), but you will have to wait at least four years for them to bloom.
Although you can sell non-flowering specimens (the plants look quite presentable), showing a photograph of the flower.
- There is always a demand for philodendrons - double pinnate and Sello - with their beautiful large foliage.
- The hybrid catharanthus “First Kiss” grows very quickly and sells well - it can also be recommended as a flower bed plant, but after a flowering period (albeit a long one), the plant is thrown away.
- For a wider assortment, you can grow powerful Washingtonia palm trees, Canarian date and graceful chamedorea (but their seeds usually take at least a month to germinate), as well as asparagus, powerful grevillea, mimosolia jacaranda, southern cordylina, and cyperus alecifolia.
- And you are unlikely to see the “Splash” crossandra among your competitors.
Only those gardeners who have heated greenhouses can grow full-fledged flowering seedlings of annuals.
The best selling flowers are petunias.The most popular and sold in recent years is the hybrid petunia. Of the low-growing large-flowered varieties (or rather, hybrids), I would recommend the “Limbo F1” variety series - the plants turn out to be very compact, with really large flowers of pure color. For several years now, the petunia “Hit Parad F1” with its large bright flowers has been a constant favorite among flower growers who grow seedlings. Petunia "Daddy F1" is also selling well - its large flowers are decorated with bright veins.
The flowers of the still very rare superb petunia are very beautiful. But it is somewhat tall and its flowers are not resistant to adverse weather conditions, so warn buyers to plant the plant somewhere under a canopy. Despite certain shortcomings, there is always a demand for this new product.[k]
Of the terry petunias, the best are “Pirouette F1” and “Sonata”. The latter looks great in hanging pots. Of the hanging petunia varieties, the ‘Wonder Wave F1″ variety series has so far been considered one of the most successful and popular. But last season, for the first time, ampelous petunia from the “Velvet F1” series appeared on the European flower market (including in our country). My friends grew it and were absolutely delighted. And at the price of seeds it is much more attractive than “Wonder Wave F1”. But the inexpensive “Avalanche F1” is less in demand among buyers - its shoots are coarser and not very branched. Therefore, it is better to grow it for personal use (for example, to decorate balconies), but to sell it in hanging baskets, still plant “Velvet F1” or “Wonder Wave F1”.
Of the multi-flowered petunias, I would like to draw your special attention to “Sonja Orchid F1” and “Sonja Rose Star F1”, these hybrids not only have delightful flower colors, but are also resistant to rain (their flowers do not show traces of raindrops, which is the sin of most large-flowered petunias). In addition, these plants look very beautiful in hanging pots, forming lush hanging shoots up to 30 cm long, and in some cases they can completely replace ampelous petunia.
The most “selling” colors of petunias are wine red, purple, red, blue, pearl, wine red with a white star and red with a white star, white-edged varieties, and also veined varieties. There are also buyers for petunia with its rare yellow flowers.
When thinking over the assortment of flowers, the planting material of which you can offer to customers, do not forget to include perennials. After all, they can be offered to customers not only in spring, but also in autumn, and, if desired, also in summer with a closed root system, that is, by planting the plants in pots in advance. In addition, having grown perennial flowers from seeds, in the future you will be able to propagate most of them vegetatively and not bother with seedlings.
Perennials blooming in springSince planting material for perennial flowers is more readily purchased in the spring than in the fall, place your bet on spring-flowering perennials. Flowering plants are purchased much more actively, because, as they say, the buyer can show the product face to face. And the price for flowering perennials is higher than the price at which you will sell them in a non-flowering state in another period, for example, in the fall. And one more plus: most spring-flowering perennials are small plants, so it is not difficult to deliver them to the place of sale even for those who do not have personal transport.
The choice of seeds of perennial ornamental plants that would bloom in spring is quite wide - these are:
- alpine aster,
- Arends saxifrage “Floral Carpet”, “Purple Robe” and “Mossy”,
- erinus alpine,
- Lychnis alpine and a rather rare white-flowered variety of Lychnis vulgaris “Snowbird”,
- Euphorbia multicolor,
- alpine penstemon,
- mountain gerbil,
- the cyanosis is pretty,
- charming and at the same time very rare hairy phlox,
- breakers ideal for rock gardens,
- as well as the still little-known Sisyrynchiums - “E. K. Balls", narrow-leaved and less winter-hardy, but larger Sisyrynchium Californian "Yellow Stone".
This list would not be complete without rock alyssum, Caucasian arabis and hybrid aubrieta, but these plants are better sold in pots, since their survival rate is worse with bare root. Be sure to include in your assortment one of the most beautiful spring-flowering perennials - doronicum orientalis, especially the “Little Lion” variety, which is distinguished by a neat bush shape and a height of only 25 cm, as well as “Finesse” with unusually narrow “petals” for doronicums. The most suitable for cutting is the large-flowered form of Doronicum orientalis.
If you are an experienced gardener, do not be lazy to grow a very spectacular and unusually rare white-flowered form of the loose swimsuit and handsome lumbago - the common one with different colors and shapes of flowers, the spring and unusually rare alpine lumbago "Sulphurea" with yellow flowers. Such spectacular and rare spring-flowering plants are always in demand and the price is consistently high. Just do not forget that the lumbago must be grown in pots, and be sure to warn the buyer that the plant must be planted carefully, trying not to destroy the clod of earth, otherwise the lumbago will hurt, or even not take root at all.
VioletsPerennial violets are also in good demand. First of all this:
- violas with decorative foliage - purple-leaved Labrador violet and variegated Manjuri violet “Fuji Dawn”,
- as well as a rare type of violet with an atypical dissected leaf shape - petiolate violet.
- For discerning buyers, plant a rare form of violet sister Rubra with quite large pink-red flowers.
- And be sure to sow perennial varieties of horned violet - thanks to the long flowering period, you can sell flowering bushes of this plant not only in spring, but also in autumn. In addition, its bright numerous flowers will decorate your garden plot for a long time.
Well, the queen of spring-flowering perennials can safely be called primrose.
Flowering primroses sell very well, so sow more of these plants and different ones.
In addition to the common primrose, the tall primrose is in good demand, among the many varieties of which one of the most outstanding is the “Crescendo F1” variety series. By sowing such seeds, you will get strong plants 30 cm high with large flowers of rich colors that have a long flowering period. And the new variety of tall primrose “Gold Lace”, like the auricular primrose “Viennese Waltz”, amazes with the unusual multi-colored color of its flowers. Don’t forget also about fine-toothed primrose - its spectacular spherical inflorescences invariably attract the eyes of buyers. Fans of large plants will certainly like Japanese primrose, although it blooms in June. Well, having grown seedlings of garden rarities - yellow primrose, Laurentia, rounded, Pari, powdered, pink "Gigas", Walton, Chionanta, Chungan, you can be sure that your competitors do not have such plants!
But New England aster “Lucida” and “September Ruby”, arctic chrysanthemum and annual hybrid delphinium seedlings that bloom at the end of the season are best sold in the fall, during their flowering. And be sure to plant Karvinsky small-petalled (erigeron) in hanging baskets for autumn sale - by autumn you will get an unusually airy, beautiful cloud of numerous small flowers and delicate foliage.
Well, what about those plants that bloom in the hot summer months, and you sell their planting material in spring and autumn? In this case, you will need photographs of these plants during flowering. Photos must be selected carefully, because the success of your trade will depend on their quality.
Perennials blooming in summer
Of the summer-blooming perennials, the most popular are bluebells, and all of them are low, medium and tall. In addition, planting material of these flowers is taken no less readily in the fall than in the spring. Therefore, bells are another crop that needs special emphasis. Try to make the range of these plants as wide as possible, starting with the easiest to grow - Carpathian bellflower, peach-leaved and crowded, and then move on to varieties whose seeds need stratification. And remember that when sowing, the bell seeds are not sprinkled with soil or sprinkled with very little soil. By the way, in addition to the summer-flowering species, there are bells that bloom in the spring - these are the Oshe bell, the saxifraga bell, as well as the Takeshima bell "Alba", which begins flowering in May and blooms until mid-summer.
Also selling well:
- carnations,
- hybrid delphinium,
- multileaf lupine,
- beautiful small petal,
- monarda double and tubular,
- perennial species of foxgloves,
- greatest cornflower (garden chamomile),
- Platycodons (all colors),
- perennial horned violet,
- Physostegia virginiana - both white and pink,
- Echinacea purpurea and
- swamp hibiscus, which blooms at the end of the season with huge flowers - the above-ground part of this plant dies off in the winter, and grows back in the spring.
