Ageratum
Ageratum is a flower also known as cuckoo thistle.
It blooms in the distinctive thistle style, with countless tiny petals clustered together.
It’s said to start growing when temperatures rise above 10°C and begin to wither below 10°C, so in warm regions you can enjoy its flowers from early spring to late autumn.
Because it’s sensitive to humidity, a potted plant that can be moved indoors during the rainy season is preferable.
It likes well-draining soil.
Prepare soil by mixing mainly akadama soil with leaf mold and river sand.
Be careful not to overwater or overfertilize.
primula
Let me introduce primroses, plants with a rich variety of flower colors.
Take out the seeds—which are even smaller than pansy or violet seeds—and sow them on moistened potting mix.
They can grow in partial shade, but it’s best to cultivate them outdoors in a sunny, well-ventilated spot.
There are different bloom types, such as single, double, and rose-form, so you can enjoy the various flower shapes as well.
Do give them a try.
May you grow vibrant primroses at home!
In conclusion
We introduced flowers that are easy for gardening beginners to grow from seed.
There are plenty, from well-known ones like morning glories and sunflowers to flowers you’ve probably seen but never knew the names of.
Some seeds are even sold at 100-yen shops, so why not give it a try casually?
