Most gardeners plant biennial plants in June-July – this way the plants will produce some greenery and bloom, as expected, the following year.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh revealed a secret, thanks to which you will be able to enjoy carnations, blue, white and pink forget-me-nots, daisies and foxgloves without delay.
To do this, the seeds of the named plants should be placed in the ground very early, the best time is in January.
This way, biennials will follow an accelerated program and will bloom both this year and next.
The same trick works for traditional large-flowered and balcony varieties of viola.
Ampelous pansies will also bloom in the first year if grown from seedlings.
However, since flowers on ampelous varieties appear quite quickly - already 3 months after sowing, there is no need to rush to plant them.
The optimal time is March, in which case the ampelous violas will delight you with their flowering in early June.
