7 flowers to sow in February to provide beautiful blooms in beds, borders, or containers

Flowers in bloom in a cottage garden border.

Sowing flowers in late winter or early spring can guarantee you earlier blooms and potentially longer flowering seasons. Many popular types of flowers can be started from seed in February - providing you can give them the heat and light they require to grow healthily.

Perennials, biennials, and annuals can all be started from seed in February. Whether you are growing for color or foliage to add to beds, borders, or pots in the coming year, or aiming to get perennial blooms for years to come, sowing indoors earlier in the year can give you a good head start on the season.
