Annual flowers, standing

For a few decades, it was natural that we planted annual flowers of our garden from seed, putting them in a permanent place. Then the world changed, and since then we got the seedlings in early May. This, of course, also has an advantage; Immediately advanced, decorative, blooming plants come into our garden, in addition to the finest breeding or hybrid varieties. They do not need to be brought up, they come to us with flowers.

They have a disadvantage: the goods. Petunias, geranium, dahlias, bought in pots, as adult plants, are not inexpensive, but the lower-priced velvet flowers do not cost much less if we want to plant them in the flower bed. For this reason, there is still a justification for planting blooming ornamental plants, although some species are not really suitable for planting, so they are transplanted between the place of sowing and their future location.

Springtime planting is still essential today, especially in cases where large amounts of flowers are being cultivated, blossoming spots are the goal in the garden. In the case of multipurpose plants, it is also worthwhile to solve the need for plants by planting, not by seedlings. As an example, mention of marigold, which is a beautiful flowering plant, and its flowers also serve as a base for immune-boosting herbal teas, as well as edible petals for salads, and for decorating boletus. If you want to enjoy these benefits, you have to keep a larger amount of it in the garden. This large quantity can only be achieved economically by sown and not by seeded stock.

Another example is the velvet flower, which can be bought as a seedlings with small-sized but very large flower versions. But it is a valuable bio-protective plant, and in addition to earthworms, it smells of many other pests. If you want to use this feature, then it is a very expensive fun to plant it, because for the efficient operation - for pest control - we need to frame the bed of the vegetables to be protected. This can be achieved at a much lower cost and with less work if you place it in a permanent place, rather than planting the area with seedlings purchased in adulthood. Of course, the two methods can be combined: we discard the seeds around the bed to be protected, where we have good luck, where too often we can trap individuals out of which we have been thrown to where the emergence is rare. Then we planted it, but did not buy it, but from the stocked stock.

There are annual species that do not tolerate transplantation - they are also propagated by permanent seeding. Another group we simply can't buy as seedlings in horticulture. They are usually not sold because they are fast-growing species that would grow their tile in a few weeks. As a result, the time to sell is shortened, so their cultivation in horticultural gardens would be loss-making. A good example of this is ricinus, high-grade ornamental sunflowers or dawn. The former two are large, the latter is a rapidly growing creeper - none of it makes sense to plant. The third group is the thin-stemmed annuals; they would only be held in groups, planted one by one, and would not be showy, because their smaller flowers are only massive. Such as cornflowers, daisies.
