HELP ME GROW
You don't need large borders to grow plenty of flowers from seed. We've picked four varieties that are well suited to pots and containers, giving you a choice of easy colour, compact plants and something with a little height for your patio.
Best for Pots & Containers
A compact sunflower. Teddy Bear produces wonderfully fluffy, golden-yellow double flowers on shorter plants, making it a great choice for pots, containers and the front of borders.
Our Favourite
A colourful mix with bold, eye-catching flowers that makes a real impact through summer. Express Patriot Mix is one we like for giving pots and displays plenty of colour without having to settle on just one shade.
Colourful in Containers
A compact nasturtium that's ideal for pots, containers and the front of borders. Tom Thumb Mixed gives you plenty of cheerful flower colours without producing the long trailing growth of more vigorous nasturtiums.
Best for Pots & Smaller Spaces
A more compact cosmos. Sonata Mixed produces plenty of colourful flowers on shorter, bushy plants, making it a great choice for pots, and the front of borders.

Growing flowers in containers is an easy way to bring plenty of colour to a patio or smaller garden. Choose a pot that suits the eventual size of the plant, make sure it drains freely and keep an eye on watering as the plants grow.
Match the container to the plant. Compact flowers are happy in smaller pots, while taller or more vigorous varieties need more room and a heavier pot to keep them stable. Always make sure excess water can drain away.
Pots can dry out quickly during warm weather, particularly once plants are in full growth. Check them regularly and water thoroughly when needed rather than giving them a little splash every day.
Remove faded flowers regularly where needed to encourage more blooms. Plants flowering for a long period may also appreciate some feeding once they're established, particularly when growing in the same compost all summer.
