Not all flowers are grown from seedlings, like petunias or other varieties.
Bulbous plants are especially popular among summer residents, as they look impressive and at the same time do not create any special problems with caring for them.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what flowers can be sown in April in flower beds directly into the ground.
The main condition
Before sowing, the soil must warm up, which can be accelerated by watering it with warm water and covering it with black film.
It is important that the selected crops are resistant to cold.
Plants with long roots are sown directly into the soil, as they do not like being transplanted.
What to sow
Lupine and sage, carnations, decorative yarrow, cosmos, calendula and annual phlox are sown by direct sowing or through seedlings.
Nasturtium, purslane and alyssum are also sown. But these are all flowers that are well known to summer residents.
Besides these, you can sow no less interesting crops.
Decorative flax
It is easy to care for and at the same time blooms for a long time and quite beautifully.
Annual dahlias
Sow for seedlings in mid- or late April. Annual dahlias bloom all summer and can be grown in pots on balconies.
Looks great with phlox, marigolds, gladioli and other plants.
Cornflower annual
Another plant that will please the eye until the frost.
They come in blue, white, pink and all are easy to care for and grow in any soil.
Fragrant tobacco
In addition to being an unpretentious annual plant that blooms until the cold weather sets in, tobacco is very aromatic.
You can choose varieties that bloom during the day (but they do not have a strong aroma), or in the evening (but these are distinguished by a strong fragrance).
Blooms with bright red, burgundy or lemon flowers.
But it is recommended to grow fragrant tobacco using seedlings and replant it only after the frosts have passed.
