Growing flowers from seed

I planted antirrhinum plants last year in pots in front garden which is pebbled, this year little plants are growing among the pebbles, so they must be easy to grow from seed.

I'm planning to grow some tough little pansies. I know that the plants are not that expensive, but I don't want to buy mixed colours - very fussy I know!

Read the Seed Packet! This is the golden rule. Every seed packet is a miniature instruction manual. It will tell you the ideal planting depth, spacing, light requirements, germination time, and maturity time.

And the book "Cottage Garden Annuals: Grown from Seed for Summer-Long Colour" suggested by @merlotgran is also good.

I’ll make sure to follow the Gransnet Talk guidelines moving forward. Appreciate the reminder and the link to keep things respectful and on topic.https://interpolationcalculator.com/linear-interpolation/

Read the back of the seed packet?

I'm not great at gardening but I love seeing cuttings take, I take cuttings and pass them on when rooted and established, keep some myself but its almost an obsession I take more than I can use.
Havnt been lucky with seeds unless its marigolds or foxgloves that I throw back in the ground.
Still get tempted by the packets and give it a go

This year I sowed Cosmos. Rather late in the year but excellent result .
Beautiful white flowers.
Even if you grow one thing it's fascinating.

I am very fond of Cosmos because of all the beautiful colours and the fact they flower for so long, into the first frosts. I always bought a new packet every year but after looking at mr google I saved this years seeds in a paper bag and will plant these next year.

Just spotted your post loopyloo.
