15 Perennial Flower Seeds That Aren’t Too Fussy to Grow

HOMESTEAD HOW-TO

SNAPDRAGONS

To get a head start with snapdragons, start the seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost and transplant seedlings outdoors in full sun or partial shade in late spring or early summer.

BLACK-EYED SUSAN

These hardy flowers thrive in full sun and tolerate pretty much any type of soil. Sow seeds in early spring or late summer in pots or directly in the ground, thinning seedlings to allow good air circulation.

LUPINE

Lupine has impressive spikes of blue flowers. It prefers cooler climates, growing best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil.

POPPIES

Poppies need light to germinate, which is why they often appear on recently disturbed ground such as building sites.

SWEET ALYSSUM

Sweet Alyssum creates a fragrant carpet of tiny white, pink, and purple flowers that attract beneficial insects. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to poor soil and drought conditions.

MORNING GLORY

Morning Glory vines are famous for their large, trumpet-shaped blue flowers that open each morning and close in the afternoon. They require full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering.
