New Year resolution?

With the Christmas done there is the habit of making plans and resolutions for the new year. For those undecided, here’s, in my opinion, an idea for a good one: start growing a few plants from seeds! 😊

Sedum urvillei var. hillebrandtii and Scabiosa silenifolia

The satisfaction you will get from seeing the tiny seedlings appearing and their growth to full size, flowering plants is hardly to match by anything else. 
The trick is, like I emphasized many times, to start simple with just a few species that are easy to grow from seeds. A list with Easy species to germinate and grow from seeds  is pinned in the Germination page, to help the start of a seeds growing journey.

Many such easy to germinate and grow plants are flowering in June, reason why I continue the 2025 review on this idea.

In the featured image the snow-flake flowers of Dianthus arenarius spp. bohemicus: most Dianthus species are the easiest plants to start with!

Then we have the Bukiniczia, Capnoides sempervirens, Delphiniums, various Scabiosa, Silene, Gypsophila, Erinus, Linaria… and the list keeps going on; plus I am sure there are many more other easy to germinate species that I never tried.

So, make this your resolution for 2026!

There is no shortage of seeds: purchased, from a seeds exchange, or from trades with friends; you only need the will and determination to start sowing! BotanyCa SEED List.
