You can make a great head start on summer blooms by sowing flower seeds in February indoors. It may be too soon to sow outdoors in most climates, but there is a great selection of flower seeds to sow in February, as popular flowers like alyssum, asters, larkspur, sweet peas, and more can be started in a greenhouse or on a warm windowsill this month.

Sowing flowers indoors now means strong plants ready to go outside once the last frosts have passed. You get a great combo of healthy plants and earlier blooms, with lots of flowers for you and the local wildlife to enjoy sooner than if you’d waited to sow once the soil has warmed. If you find yourself wondering what to plant in February, the answer definitely needs to include flowers.
