Copper-plated leg line

The terms may be new to you, here's what they all mean:

Annual - plants that bloom one summer and then die
Biennial - plants that you sow one year, and bloom (and then die) the next year
Perennial - plants that bloom several summers
Perennial - plants that survive frost and last for years

Annuals plants almost without exception grow only in full sun. That means that you preferably need more than 8 hours of summer sun in the place where you want to grow them, for example from 10 - 18 hours. 6 - 7 hours will also go a long way, but the plants will grow just a little slower.

Unless otherwise specified, annuals want nutrient-rich soil with extra compost in the spring. Read more about it in the Seed Guide.

Never seeded before? We'll get you started with a Sowing Guide explaining the basics and supplies.

On the package of your seeds you will find the shelf life. You can use them until the date you see on it. An opened package is best stored in an airtight box in a cool, dark place, such as a hall closet. Not sure if the germination is still good? Then it's best to buy a new pack. We deliberately choose small amounts of seeds in the packs so you don't have to waste seeds.
