Do not think that the sowing campaign ends with the onset of late autumn or winter. If we talk about ornamental crops, then some changing flowers can be safely sown both at the end of November and in December, and on the snow.
It is believed that this technique is beneficial for the plant.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told us which flowers can still be sown, even if the flowerbed is covered with the first snow.
What to sow in December
Few people know, but cornflower seeds are sown in the snow.
Many flowers with small seeds are sown this way. It is easy to see on the snow how thickly or sparsely they lay.
But unlike cornflower, not all ornamental crops will be happy with such sowing.
You can safely sow cornflowers in frost and snow. This is an unpretentious crop.
The only thing to consider is the place where you sow the seeds. Cornflower loves sunlight, so it will not like it in the shade.
It will look good in the company of daisies and other wild flowers.
It will bloom from June to September.
How to sow
It is better to sow on loose snow and then sprinkle with snow. Nothing else is required from the gardener.
