It's time to sow your hardy annuals for overwintering. In this video, I'm showing you exactly how to sow 6 hardy annual flowers now, so you're harvesting beautiful blooms weeks ahead of everyone else next summer... plus the common mistakes to avoid with timing, temperature, and germination.
I'm growing snapdragons, orlaya, nigella, scabious, campanula (Canterbury Bells), and Icelandic poppies using the soil blocking method, and sharing exactly what temperatures each variety can tolerate over winter so you know whether to plant them straight in the ground or protect them in a greenhouse or cold frame.
