November is a great time to think about planting flowers that can infuse your outdoor space with color and life well into the winter. Plenty of flowers can be sown or planted now. Sowing seeds outdoors in November is a particularly good idea as it gives you a head start on the gardening year next spring, freeing up space from the clutter of seed trays as well as bringing flowering times forward.
Depending on your growing zone, there might be no problem growing flowers outside now and right through winter, for example if you live in the South. Meanwhile if you live in a cold climate it's a good idea to plant flowers in containers that you can protect if temperatures drop. It's also worth remembering that lots of seeds benefit from a cold period ahead of germination, and bulbs enjoy cooler temperatures too.
