EASY FLOWERS TO GROW

When growing flowers from seed, it is important to choose seeds that grow fairly rapidly. The fastest-growing seeds germinate in a matter of days and flower in roughly two months.

Another consideration for young children is seed size, which should be big enough to easily pick up between their thumb and finger. Flower seeds which are tiny will be too tricky for little hands to plant.

So here's our list of easy to grow flowers for kids:

HOW TO GROW FLOWERS FROM SEED

STEP 1. Add soil to your tray and then spread out into an even layer. This will make it easier for little hands to fill the seed pots in the following step.

STEP 2. Place the seed starting pots in the tray and s coop soil into the pots.

STEP 3. Dig a small hole (about 1/4 inch or 5mm) in the soil. Place one seed in the hole and cover the seed with a thin layer of soil.

Planting Tip: A general rule is to plant at a depth twice the seed's diameter.

STEP 4. Moisten the soil by adding a small amount of water to the pot. Or alternatively you can wet the soil with a spray bottle.

STEP 5. Take a Popsicle stick and label it with the name of the flower. Place the Popsicle stick label into the pot on the side. Be careful not to place it where the seed is.

STEP 6. Set aside. Repeat the process above for different types of flowers.

STEP 7. Set the pots in a window sill and water daily to keep the soil moist. Check back to watch them grow!
