What flowers can you sew in August for
0:04
blooms next year and this year? Welcome
0:08
to Gardening with Ben and we will be
0:11
sharing our tips and advice on what
0:13
flowers you can sew this month in
0:15
August. The flowers you can sew this
0:17
month for flowering next year. The ones
0:21
that you can try are corn flour, which
0:24
are an absolute gorgeous blue. So if
0:27
you're wanting some nice blue in your
0:28
garden next year, sew some corn flour
0:30
this month. Next up is nigella. Now you
0:32
get these in bird seed as well. But
0:34
nigella is a seed that you can sew this
0:37
month for flowers next year. Next up is
0:40
lark spur. Never tried it myself, so I
0:43
don't know what it's like, but let me
0:44
know in the comments what Lark spur is
0:46
like and if it's worth growing myself.
0:48
Next up is one of my favorite ones. Now
0:50
it adds so much color, but it does
0:52
spread pretty often from all the seed
0:55
heads. So the next up is colundula. An
0:58
absolute gorgeous orange, yellow, great
1:01
addition to the garden and it looks
1:03
absolutely beautiful when it's out in
1:05
bloom. So if you're wanting some nice
1:07
color in your garden next year, get
1:08
sewing some colandola for next year. And
1:11
then finally, another one that does
1:13
spread is California poppy. Again, the
1:15
seed heads will burst, set out the
1:17
seeds, and you'll be inundated with
1:20
poppies in your garden. So, if you don't
1:21
mind that, get sewing some California
1:23
poppies and they will look gorgeous in
1:25
your garden. Buy any old flowers, which
1:28
means we're sew them this month ready
1:30
for flowering next year down at the
1:32
garden. Now, if you've seen my video, I
1:34
have sewn loads myself. They're all
1:36
growing now. So, we'll be potting them
1:38
all up pretty soon and getting them
1:40
ready for growing in the garden next
1:42
year. But first up is Sweet William. A
1:45
bit like a deranium, but a nice smell
1:47
coming from it. So, if you're wanting
1:49
some sweet williams, now is the time to
1:51
sew them ready for next year. Next up is
1:53
wallflower. Another great color addition
1:55
to the garden with plenty of different
1:57
colors out there to add beautiful colors
2:00
to your garden and your borders. Up is
2:03
fox gloves. Obviously, fox gloves grow
2:05
really tall, but they're awesome for
2:07
bees. Bees absolutely love them. So, if
2:10
you're wanting to attract the bees to
2:11
your garden, sew some fox gloves for
2:14
beautiful flowers next year. Next up is
2:17
Forget Me Not. Another great flower
2:19
which is absolutely gorgeous and can add
2:22
some great color to the garden. So if
2:23
you wanting some forget me knots, get
2:26
sewing them this month ready for next
2:28
year. Another good flower is honesty.
2:31
And yeah, why not give it a try and see
2:34
if it does flower next year down at your
2:36
a lotment. Perennials. Perennials are
2:39
ones that come back year after year
2:41
after year. So well worth investing in
2:44
sewing some of these this month. is
2:46
delphiniums. Another huge flower and
2:49
it's ideal for your borders, for your
2:52
pots. Absolutely gorgeous flowers. So,
2:55
and they grow really tall. So, be
2:57
prepared for them to grow tall. But if
2:59
you're wanting some beautiful color in
3:00
your garden, sew some deliniums and
3:02
they'll look absolutely gorgeous. Nice,
3:04
beautiful flower is holly hawk. A
3:06
gorgeous flower and a great addition to
3:08
any garden. And finally for the
3:11
perennials is loopins. Now, loopins will
3:14
come back year after year. Another great
3:16
color to your add to your garden and so
3:18
easy to grow. I've grown them myself
3:21
plenty of times from seed and they're
3:22
absolutely gorgeous in my a lotment. So,
3:25
give them a try and let me know how you
3:26
get on. Now, if you're wanting some fast
3:29
flowers ready for this year, for the
3:31
winter period, get sewing some pansies
3:34
and get growing some violas. now great
3:37
addition and great color for the garden
3:39
in winter because there's not much color
3:41
around at that time of year. So it's a
3:44
great thing to add to the garden. So if
3:46
you wanting some pansies or violas,
3:48
another easy thing to grow. I've grown
3:49
pansies from seed myself and had great
3:52
success down here at the a lotment. Give
3:54
them a sew now and you will be getting
3:57
flowers on them this winter time. So
3:59
that is all the flowers that you can sew
4:01
in August ready for this year and next
4:05
year. So, if you've enjoyed this video,
