Our products mainly contain annual flower seeds, and that's a deliberate choice. Unlike perennials, which often don't bloom until their second or third year, annuals germinate, grow and flower within a single season. That means you'll enjoy your flowers just a few weeks after sowing, with no waiting. Annuals also offer more reliable germination and thrive easily, even in less-than-perfect growing conditions. It's the promise of a generous, colourful and rewarding result, right from the first year.
