When to Plant Bedding Seeds

The best time to plant bedding seeds depends on whether they are for spring or summer flowering. Summer bedding seeds should be sown indoors from January to April and moved outside once the risk of frost has passed, ready to flower by summer. 

Spring flowering bedding seeds, such as violas and primroses, are best sown from May to July for autumn transplanting and flowering the following year. Always check individual seed packets for the best sowing and transplanting times.

How to Sow Bedding Seeds

Sow bedding seeds indoors in trays or small pots, using fine compost and covering lightly with soil. Keep warm and moist until germination occurs. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow them in cooler conditions. Gradually harden off before planting outside in prepared beds, borders, or containers. Regular watering and deadheading will encourage prolonged flowering.
