Spring is in full bloom, but if your garden is looking a little empty right now and you’re after easy ways to fill the gaps that won’t cost a fortune, then sowing your own perennial plants from seed is the way to go.
Most garden plants are either annual or perennial. Annual plants flower, set seed, and die within 12 months, while perennials live for several years. Sown in early spring, many long flowering perennials will bloom in their first year and then return year after year, so they can be a great money-saver with the added advantage of not having to replant beds and borders every season.
