One of the best ways to fill your garden with color is to plant annual flowers, which grow quickly and bloom all season long. Several of these varieties are very easy to start from seeds which are less expensive and give you more exciting choices than buying plants at a garden center. Here are some of the easiest annual flowers to grow from seed, as well as tips for when and how to sow them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It’s hard not to love a\u00a0marigold<\/a>‘s bright yellow, orange, and red flowers. Happily, this is one of the easiest seeds to grow. You can sow marigold seeds directly into the garden\u00a0after the last frost date<\/a>. If you start seeds indoors, sow seeds one-eighth inch deep. Look for sprouts in less than a week.<\/p>

A charming annual that blooms in shades of blue, pink, and purple,\u00a0bachelor’s button<\/a>\u00a0is a great choice for hot, dry sites. The flowers are perfect for\u00a0cut- and dried-flower bouquets<\/a>. Plant the seeds about one-eighth inch deep, and you’ll typically see sprouts in one to three weeks. You can plant seeds indoors six to eight weeks before last spring frost date or sow the seeds directly outdoors at the last spring frost date.<\/p>

The fast-growing\u00a0castor bean<\/a>\u00a0plant can go from a small seed to a 10-foot-tall specimen by the end of the season, even in\u00a0northern Zones<\/a>. Plant this warm-weather annual away from areas where children play because every part of\u00a0this plant is poisonous if ingested<\/a>. Plant the seed about one-half inch deep in indoor pots about six to eight weeks prior to the last spring frost date; it usually sprouts in one to three weeks. If you sow the seed directly outdoors, wait until the soil has warmed.<\/p>

A perfect cottage-garden plant, cleome or\u00a0spider flower<\/a>\u00a0bears spikes of\u00a0fragrant blooms<\/a>\u00a0in shades of white, pink, magenta, and purple. It’s so easy, it practically starts itself! In fact, in many gardens it self-seeds year after year. Start this annual indoors six to eight weeks before the average date of last frost by spreading seeds over the ground without covering them; they don’t need to be covered because the seeds require light to germinate. You can also plant the seeds directly in the garden, but you’ll want to wait until the soil has warmed. Cleome seeds typically sprout in one to two weeks.<\/p>

A must-have annual for sunny\u00a0cottage gardens<\/a>,\u00a0cosmos\u00a0<\/a>offers ferny foliage and daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, magenta, white, yellow, and orange.

To plant the seeds outdoors, spread seeds over the ground just before last spring frost date and just barely cover them. Another option is to start the seeds indoors six to eight weeks before last spring frost date. The seeds usually sprout in one to three weeks.<\/p>

A spectacular but underused\u00a0annual vine<\/a>, purple hyacinth bean is a snap to start. Grow it in a sunny spot and be sure to give it a\u00a0sturdy support on which to climb<\/a>. Its spikes of fragrant, pea-like, rose-purple flowers can easily cover a trellis in a single season. Because the seeds are protected by a tough coat, soak the seeds in water for 12 hours before sowing or file away or nick off a small piece of the coat before planting. Sow seed one-fourth inch deep directly in the garden after the last frost date or start indoors six to eight weeks earlier. Look for the seeds to sprout in one to two weeks after planting.<\/p>

Light up a spring or fall garden with\u00a0larkspur<\/a>‘s spikes of blue, lavender, pink, or white flowers. This garden beauty often self-seeds, coming back each year all on its own. The easiest way to grow larkspur is to sprinkle the seeds in the garden in late winter or very early spring. This cool-season plant will sprout on its own. If you\u00a0start seeds indoors<\/a>, sow seeds one-eighth inch deep. It sprouts in three to four weeks.<\/p>

One of the\u00a0prettiest flowering vines<\/a>,\u00a0morning glory<\/a>\u00a0blooms in shades of blue, pink, white, and red. It’s earned its common name because the flowers tend to close by noon, especially in hot weather. Morning glory seeds may be started indoors about six to eight weeks before the last spring frost date. Seeds can be started outdoors after the last frost date, but the onset of bloom will occur much later in the season. Soak the seeds in water for 12 to 24 hours before sowing or file away or nick off a small piece of the seed’s tough, outer coat before planting. Sow seeds one-fourth inch deep and expect to see sprouts in about a week.<\/p>

Summer would not be the same without cheery\u00a0sunflowers<\/a>. While the big yellow varieties with brown centers are the best known, today there’s an array of choices to grow that includes orange, red, brown, and bicolored blooms. They’re not all giants, either; dwarf varieties fit in virtually any sunny spot. Sunflowers don’t like to be transplanted, so it’s best to start them directly in the garden after the last frost date. They usually sprout about a week after planting.<\/p>
