Blue Flower Seed Guide

Since blue flower seed perennials bloom only for a short period of time, you should contrive your garden so that each region sees blooming plants all year by planting these flowers which flower during different months near each other - that way one patch of your garden won't look stark once the blooms are gone. Pinching dead flowers from your plants will cause it to bring forth more blossoms and help the overall look and health of the bush.

Flowers can be grown by seed by following the instructions on the packet. Some may be sewn indoors, but others prefer to plant outside once fear of frost has passed. Growing flowers from seed can be a rewarding and cost effective way to have a garden.
