HELP ME GROW
Want to see something happening quickly? We've picked four easy seeds that get going without keeping you waiting too long. From quick crops to colourful flowers and a fast-growing courgette, they're great choices when you're new to growing from seed and want to see some early progress.
Quickest to Get Started
One of the quickest and easiest seeds you can grow. Cress germinates rapidly, needs very little space and can be ready to start cutting in a remarkably short time, making it a great first choice when you're new to growing from seed.
Perfect for Cutting
Beautiful double blue Cornflowers on strong, straight stems, perfect for fresh bouquets and dried flower arrangements.
Easy Summer Colour
Easy-to-grow Calendula producing masses of colourful flowers in warm yellow, gold, orange and apricot shades.
Best Yellow Courgette
A bright yellow courgette that makes a colourful change from the usual green varieties. The fruits are easy to spot beneath the foliage too. Good harvest.
GROW WITH CONFIDENCE
Quick-growing seeds are a great way to build confidence when you're starting out. Some can be sown straight outside while others are easily started in pots. Give them the conditions they need, keep an eye on watering and you should soon see plenty happening.
There's no need to sow the whole packet. Start with a sensible amount, follow the sowing instructions for your chosen variety and keep some seed back for another sowing later.
Keep newly sown soil or compost reasonably moist and give seedlings plenty of light once they appear. Warmth helps crops such as courgettes, while cornflowers and pot marigolds are happy growing in cooler outdoor conditions.
Cress can be harvested remarkably quickly, while the flowers and courgettes take a little longer. The important thing is that you'll see plenty of progress along the way — and that's half the fun when you're growing from seed for the first time.
