Ideas for the best seeds for your garden this April

There are lots of great plants to begin growing in April. Spring is finally here, and as the days grow longer, you'll want to spend more time in the garden - so take a look at our comprehensive stock, and purchase seeds online from us at a competitive price.

Flowers:

·         This is the last month you can plant the Chilean Glory Vine, Eccremocarpus. It resembles a climbing foxglove which blooms into varying shades of fire red, sunset orange, golden yellow and even light pinks or creams. This bold plant adds a welcome splash of colour to a wall.

·         It's also the final month for seeding Alonsoa Warscewiczil Scarlet. The visually striking red petals make the plant resemble a large snapdragon, but this plant is even better for attracting bees and butterflies.

·         Before it's too late, you can add Aster Chinensis Carpet Ball to your garden. Flowering in compact spheres of vivid purples to pinks, they should flower until the beginning of autumn.

Herbs:

·         Borage can be seeded in April. It has pretty blue flowers, and is often put in alcoholic tipples. It spruces up gin, or a nice glass of summer Pimms.

·         Dill is another herb to sew at this time of year. It makes a great accompaniment to trout, with its anise like leaves and powerful seeds. You can also add it to pizza, as it goes with many Mediterranean flavours.

·         Marjoram is great for lamb, pork and beef. It emphasises meatiness and 'Marjoram, Sweet or Knotted' helps to reduce bitterness in foods. For a good quality supply of marjoram, purchase seeds online from us at Seeds By Post.

Vegetables:

·         For delicious beans, try sewing Runner Bean Scarlet Emperor. With big harvests, this variety also grows magnificent red flowers.

·         A slightly more decorative runner bean is Fagioli Nani Splendido or the Borletto Bean. The pods are a deep pink, with an off-white speckle. These beans taste nice, too.

·         In April, you can also plant Boltrady Beetroot, which is a hardy variety that combines sweetness with a vibrant red colour.
