Reproduction of annual garden flowers occurs, as a rule, at the expense of seeds. This plant, depending on the growing season, can be grown by sowing seeds in open ground or through seedlings.
An annual flower, which has a long growing season, as well as a long interval from germination to flowering, is grown using seedlings. Its sowing is carried out from the beginning of February and ends in 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 the 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 sowing time is not justified, since at the end of the summer season this species loses its attractiveness. Garden annual flowers (photo below) are mostly unpretentious and quite beautiful. These crops can be grown by sowing seeds at a fairly early date directly in open ground. For the first time, the sown place for normal germination of flowers must be covered with plastic wrap. She is not removed until the very first shoots.
It happens that an annual flower grows from a seed that is quite large and has a large supply of nutrients. Sprouts from these seeds appear quite quickly, so they can be propagated by seedlings. These are calendula, mattiola, gypsophila, godetia, kosmeya, allisum, lavatera and others. These cultures look great against the backdrop of large group plantings. However, they do not require special care.
