Whats the best flowers for me ?
Go for self seeding annuals. You need to buy a packet now throw them on the ground (you may have to rake them in a bit)and then forever after they will grow from their own seeds;
Try whichever of these you like the look of and buy the packets at any garden centre or try somewhere like Woolies or a supermarket;
Cornflower Centaurea cyanus
California Poppy Eschscholzia
Candytuft Iberis
Clarkia
Cosmos spp.
Flax Linum
Forget-Me-Nots Cynoglossum
Gloriosa Daisy Rudbeckia hirta
Love-in-a-Mist Nigella damascena
Nasturtium Tropaeolum majus
Pot Marigold Calendula
Spider Flower Cleome spp.
Sunflower Helianthus
Tall Verbena Verbena bonariensis
Reply:These are quick and easy- get them at a garden centre or garden store
Poppies ( Eschscholzia are my favourite) -red yellow orange
Marigolds (Tagetes and Calendula type) - yellow orange
Cornflowers (Centaurea) - blue pink white
Love in a mist (Nigella) - blue
