With spring in the air and my garden looking a bit wild, I'm ready to tidy things up and add some color. I usually go for perennials, but this year I'm wanting to invest more time and money to create a beautiful garden. What flowers or plants can I easily purchase or plant in the coming weeks to make my garden vibrant and cheerful?

Starting from seeds can be really rewarding! I've found cheap zinnia seeds at Lidl, and sweet peas are also a great low-cost option to start indoors. For plants, think about classics like pansies, cosmos, and even some lovely perennials like peonies or lavender—they'll add beauty this summer and beyond!
Zinnias are a fantastic choice! They may not be at their peak for a couple of months, but they're stunning, colorful annuals that can really spruce up your garden. Plus, they attract bees and butterflies, which is a bonus!
Absolutely! Zinnias are awesome, but don’t forget cosmos as well!
If you want to fill your borders with flowers, check out bedding plants like zinnias, gazanias, and snapdragons at your local garden center. They'll create a beautiful display once they're established.
Sounds like a solid plan! I also love throwing in some marigolds; they’re easy and add great color.
