Cheap flowers seed merchants

Another excellent great flower choice is the nasturtium (Tropaeolum Majus). Again, like the sunflower, nasturtiums are easy and gratifying for your budding gardner, and lush and sophisticated enough for the adult. Add in that the leaves,flowers and buds are all edible and the "nasty" with its orange, apricot or mahogany blossoms and upright or trailing stems takes its rightful place at the top of your favorite flower list.

A row of nasturtium seeds right along the front of the garden bed as a sentinel of bug repellants. Or make up a hanging basket for "nastys" with a trailing habit and hang it where it gets a lot of sun, but some afternoon shade and watch the butterflies and hummingbirds come by for a visit. This is double "bang for your buck", cheap flowers and hummingbird antics! Nasturtium flowers come in the plain orange variety, or plant newer hybrids with double, ruffled blossoms and pastel colors that are easy on the eyes.

Not to be forgotten in a listing of cheap flowers that are easy to grow from seed are heirloom sweet peas (Lathyrus odorata). Notice the "heirloom" part of the name. Hybridizers swapped size for scent, so newer varieties have larger blooms but lack that essential quality. With the same assets that recommend sunflowers and nasturtiums for children, heirloom sweet peas are brilliantly colored, quick growing and attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. Trained up wires on a wall, a trellis or tumbling over the back fence, heirloom sweet peas just can't be beat. Is there anything more charming than a muddy fisted child offering you a bouquet of sweet peas?

These few choices are a small introduction to the wonder and ease of growing flowers from seed. There are literally thousands upon thousands of choices. Some seeds can be found around the world, some no further away than your own region. Some seeds need to be cosseted and pleaded with, others seem to sprout in your hand. Whatever your level of gardening expertise, there's a seed for you and a whole bunch of cheap flowers waiting to be enjoyed.
