Didn't think I'd manage 20 but just checking my seed box and might manage it. Will list later. Have no experience of growing flowers apart from sweet peas that I tried last year so expecting it'll be a big hit and miss but will see. Planted some in prop the other day and some in gh yesterday. The rest are going on out straight onto the pretty empty border at the back or front garden.

My 2020 grow list

When I started to write the list of what I’m growing this year I thought is never make it to 20😂😂 I’m extending my cut flower patch at my allotment this year. Nearly all germinated so far except the sunflowers and coreopsis as they’ve only just gone in. The phlox and Erigeron only one germinated one of each, I’m losing hope of more but one is better than none, phlox was old seed anyway but I’m a little disappointed as they were really good lasted late into the season. Flowered all summer. Erigeron one is enough as it will self seed hopefully.

Antirrhynum (Rocket mix)
Dahlia (20 different tubers)
Allysum
Lobelia
Petunia
Scabious (Tall double mixed)
Cosmos.(Daydream,Gazebo red and Purity)
Ammi majus
Ammi visnaga
Daucus carota (purple kisses mixed)
Tithonia
China asters
Calendula
Zinnia
Gypsophilia elegans
Nicotiana x hybrid (whisper mixed)
Sunflower (vanilla ice)
Emilia Javanica (Irish poet)
Lupin (dwarf)
Moluccella laevis (Bells of Ireland)
Cornflowers
Tagetes tenuifolia (lemon gem)
Phlox (lavender beauty)
Cerinthe major
Erigeron
Coreopsis (Early sunrise)
Sweet pea

Proof

NG, the real challenge is that we need proof - like photos of each flower, so you'd better get sowing.

I often browse this site but don’t post . I’ve just added my list and look forward to sharing photos with you all when the time comes.

Nice to see you, Kdenni and your amazing list.
There's another thread for 2020 veggies.............do you have a list of those too?

Hi Kdenni, love the list can't wait to see piccies

22 Dianthus sugar baby

I have a flower starting on one of my early candulas... Picture to come when it finally blooms :O)

Checking my seed list I have 32 different types of flower seed so if I can find the space I may achieve 20 sown. Some hardy annuals/biennials were sown in the back end - off the top of my head, myosotis, calendula, foxglove, geranium, flax, nigella, catananche, honesty, so only 12 more to go

The only flowers I've sown this spring are verbena bonariensis, so for the remaining three I'm going to cheat and include self sown flowers, so I can add veronica longifolia, sweet rocket, and wallflowers.

I'll take some pics later of autumn sown flowering now.

Here’s a few little updates on my 20
seeds sown

[MissPea]

A few more of the flowers. Since lockdown I hadn’t been taking pictures and generally trying to stay offline my sweet peas didn’t flower, my cosmos flowered in November, was a terrible year for growing time wise and flower wise, for me anyway.

I will close this thread and start a new one for 2021.
