  • California Poppies: A popular native of California, these flowers thrive in dry and sandy soil. Plant seeds as soon as possible. The ideal time to grow them is in the spring. California poppies usually reseed and show up in the driest corners of your garden. Happy planting!

 

  • Cosmos: If you want to grow heat-loving Cosmos flowers, then use any average soil. If your soil is too rich, they won’t grow well. Grow these lovelies during the late summer days and add some dash in your garden.
  • Calendula: These yellow or orange edible flower petals are to be grown in cooler temperatures. Plant the seeds during late spring and make sure to deadhead these flowers so that they bloom for a longer time

  • Morning Glories: Blue, purple and white, these are some of Morning Glories. They are a true beauty for your garden and are sown in full sun locations. It is recommended that you soak the seeds overnight before you plant.

 

  • Nasturtiums: This edible plant is worth growing in your garden. Add some spicy and peppery taste to salads, eggs and soups with the use of Nasturtiums petals. Usually, spring is the ideal season to grow this plant and make sure your soil isn’t too nitrogen rich. Otherwise, you will have more leaves than flowers.
