A flower bed jam-packed with vivid early summer blooms sounds dreamy – a perfect start to the season. There are fast-growing flowers to plant in April to bring that vision to reality, and they are all super-simple to grow. If you want lots of flowers by early summer, these picks are for you.
The likes of alyssum, cosmos, gaillardia, nasturtiums, sunflowers, zinnia, and more can go from sowing to flowering in 10 weeks or less. If you sow seeds in April, you can look forward to beds or containers bristling with blooms come June.
