The quickest flowers to grow
Easy annuals like nasturtiums, cornflowers, calendula and poppies flower fast and freely, and most are brilliant for pollinators. They're among the most foolproof of our annual flowers.
Growing fast flowers from seed
Most are sown direct where they are to flower once the soil warms — no need for pots. Keep the ground moist until they're up, thin if needed, and deadhead to keep the flowers coming through the season.
