What is the quickest growing flower?
Choose hardy annuals such as sunflowers, poppies, cornflowers and pot marigolds – they all germinate quickly and are easy to grow. Bees and butterflies love them too! This also makes a great activity to do with children in a greenhouse on wet days. Easy annuals such as sunflowers and zinnias are simple to start from seed, perennials require little care and return year after year, and bulbs are practically foolproof when planted properly. Start with just one easy plant, or select a few and get growing!
