Some flowers can be planted in the autumn - like foxgloves. I presume this gives them a head start and helps them flower earlier in the spring.

Does anyone have a link or any information on which flowing plants do best when planted in the autumn?

Thanks,
Kranser.

Now is the time to plant Wallflowers for spring flowering, you will find garden centres have them in stock now also some vegetable shops may have them.

Hi
My guide on this is Sarah Raven her website is good on what to plant.

I have sown and now planted out Nigella, Calendula, Cornflower, Euphorbia Oblongata, Burpleurum, Malope Trifia, Orlaya
Wallflowers on order
Sweet peas in cold frame with Foxgloves

Never tried it before so who knows

Best wishes

So far the only thing that's green on my allotment is me.
